Recently I bought a MF-35 with the Perkins 152 diesel engine. I have nearly finished going over it and fixing all of the things needing attention except the thermostat. It appears that it has no thermostat or that it is stuck open as the engine will not come up to temperature. As purchased, the temperature gauge did not work so I installed a new one. Still the gauge will not budge from its lowest 130 degree level.

It looks like changing the thermostat will be quite a job on this tractor. Must the hood and tank come off to do it? I will probably change all of the hoses at the same time.

All advice will be greatly appreciated.

My Perkins doesn't have a temp gauge at all, and seems to run very cool.

The gas marine engine in my boat had a 125 degree F thermostat, but it was removed or quit some years ago and now runs at about 95 degrees. No kidding. Great oil pressure, though. I've run her that way without a whimper for 23 years so far.

Some engines run cold.

Thanks for the feedback. Maybe these are cold natured. The temperature gauge that I installed does not go below 130 degrees and it dosen't budge but I have not worked it hard yet. It seemed pretty cold though and I have always heard that diesels especially need to get up to 160 degrees or higher to run well.
