    Ford 9 N Work Light wiring

    Brady, I'm going to be redoing my rear lights also. I'd like to do something diffrently with routing the wire from the dash back to under the seat and then out to each fender.

    Normal operating temperture??

    9N / fnt mnt dist / 12 volt I cheated and removed the drain petcock on the side of the block when I was putting the tractor back together. And I installed a temperture guage sensor there with the guage on the dash. The question is, I've put in a new 180 degree thermostat but the tractor only...

    Is this thermostat correct?

    Thanks GB in MT. I knew it didn't look like the others I've seen. Next question, I guess the others(160 degree) go somewhere midway in the hose.
