Farmall M Thermostat

Farmallhm44 · May 16, 2020

I'm finishing up my Farmall M puller build, when I tore down the engine there wasn't a thermostat installed. I know that if it overheated when used in the field it would get removed to help cool the tractor down. Since the tractor is no longer being used in the field should I put one back in or just leave it out? Thanks.

I want mine to be as cool as possible when I start pulling. Like 100deg. Not cold.

you need some restriction, with water flowing too fast, it has no time to pick up "heat",use a washer with halh inch hole - tractor does need some warmth in engine before full power,

A warmer engine run better cause oil is thinner and easier to pump.

Don't have a thermostat in any of my pulling tractors. Have NO problems with them warming up.
