Jetstar 3 Super Thermostat

[crashman111]

1967 JS3 Super gas. Is it necessary to drain the coolant in order to access/remove/replace the termostat? I assume it is located in the top hose, near the radiator tank.
Also, can anyone provide me with the part number for the proper replacement thermostat? I cannot seem to find a part number offered in various parts catalogues.

Thanks!

The online Parts Book shows part number 10A15861 which is replaced by 10V15861. Price is about $43.

It shows as in the top hose at the tank. You will need to drain coolant below it, unless your radiator is real low.

I am working on a jet star 3 and it has no thermostat. Unless you’re saying it’s in this top hose. ?
I had that hose off and nothing was in it.

I actually have no idea where it is located or if it even has one. I just assumed that it has one, but not certain of that. I also just assumed it was in the top hose, but not certain of that either. Since I wasn't sure if coolant needs to be drained, I have not yet removed anything.

Yes they are in the top hose it should be held with that middle hose clamp.

When I had my radiator fixed on my 4 Star, found another thermo in the upper tank. Put both in a coffee can and heated up, both opened at the same time, so I have a spare now.

V 206 was used on the early uni. harvesters. It was a "V" version of the regular 206 You want just the 206.

Can usually reuse old head gaskets if not damaged. You have to change seal on oil tube that feeds rockers. Agco should have most parts.
