8n thermostat

Grinderhead ,I say a 180 is best as it helps get rid of moisture better. But a 160 is better than none.
 
Ford used the 160* t-stat because the anti-freeze back in the day would boil off easily.

As Den said, better 160* than no t-stat.

If you want to use a 180* t-stat (which I use on all 4 of my 8N's) try A&I part # A-11C15, Gates 33108, Beck/Arnley part # 143-0024, Auto Zone part #
3518 or NAPA part number THM 184 for 180* in hose t-stats.


The car parts store folks are helpless w/o vehicle make/model/year info. Some can/will actually search on the number & cross reference, but more often than not,
you will just get a dumb look. HINT: find a clerk near the age of your tractor..... ;) Try telling them that the t-stat is for your
1977 Renault R12 1.6L L4.


All of my 180* t-stats are A&I A-11C15's or AZ-3518's. They are a very tight fit in an N hose, but they will fit. I've never used the Gates, Beck/Arnley or
NAPA t-stats so I can't help you w/ anything there but the part numbers.


All that being said.....if you do not consistently run the tractor to operating temp, you will get condensation & sludge as a result.
