Well, I replaced my Thermostat on my M over the weekend and I'm pretty sure I did it right but it still isn't running in the "Run" section of the temperature gauge. I should have taken some pics but I didn't so I'm borrowing some off the net that I found that are somewhat similar. 
In that pic the thermostat on the right is somewhat similar to the one on the M except there is a bit longer piece on the bottom. The pointed end should be pointing down toward the engine block and the other end with the sensor should be pointing up to the radiator? It looked to be the only way to put it in but now I'm having 2nd thoughts and I might be wrong. The only other thing I can think of is that the CaseIH dealership sold me a 165 degree thermostat and that might be a bit too cool for the gauge. After running it for about 1/2 hour mostly on high idle the temp gauge got up to between the C and the O in "COLD" on the gauge. I thought it would get right to the line between the "COLD" and "RUN". Oh well, if you can make any sense of this post please let me know if I put the thermostat in right or wrong. Also I was thankful for the posts on this site talking about using grease to set the gasket. I used a very thin layer at first and it leaked to I put a much thicker layer on the 2nd time and no more leaks. Thanks in advance for any input. Nathan

Since I know nothing of either, you will have to put up with looking at the common sense side of how generators work which means we "
