Could anyone tell me what the right thermostat is that goes in my 101 JR ? It does not have one now and I know most were removed to help keep the temp. down. It does not run hot but on long rides, it will sometimes spit water out the over flow. I'm thinking it is because there is no thermostat. I may be wrong,tho. I would like to try it with the thermostat installed to see if that will stop the overflow. Thanks, Jack

Hi Jack,

I did this with a Massey-Harris 30, which I think is the same engine. It had a Continental F-162, and yours may be an F-140???

Anyway, I got a thermostat of the correct temp, 170 degrees I think, from the local AGCO dealer. I don't know what it "was for", but the first one he handed me fit up into the housing very nicely. Then, I got a clip spring from the local farm supply store. The clip spring was shaped like the letter "A" without the cross bar. I trimmed it a little, and put it up into the housing...it held the thermostat up in there very well.

Good luck!

Don't know the correct part number but I do know that the thermostat from a Dodge Ram 50 2.6 L Mitsubishi engine fits perfect. I used a 180 degree one. And you should always run a thermostat, running an engine cold is not a good idea. Take off the elbow that bolts onto the cylinder head. Right inside the flange on that elbow is the area where the thermostat goes. It drops into that cavity and is held at one end by the casting edge (into the casting a ways) and then there is a circular metal collar (you can make one up from sheet metal) that holds the thermostat in the elbow. If you have a bypass fitting on that elbow, then the collar has a gap in it. The collar is held in place at the block end by the gasket. If you can't find one of those thermostats, just keep looking and measuring until you find one that fits in there reasonably well. It doesn't have to be a PERFECT fit, just a decent fit. And of course, it must have the clearance necessary and make sure you install it the correct direction.

Thank you for the info. I did manage to find the correct thermostat at the local NAPA store. If for some reason it isn't the right one, I will go with your information. Again, thank you. Jack
