Thermostat for 60

[old popper]

I have a late 60 that I cannot seem to find the right thermostat for. The outside rim can only be 1/16 inch thick, and the only thing I have gotten from Deere is 3/16 " thick. Where can I get the right one???

 

[BushogPapa]

You are sure you included the Gasket in your measurement.??

The 'stat has to sit in the groove (1/16 deep) with the gasket and upper pipe on top of that.

If you have your serial number and a decent counter person! Napa can get it next am. Just got one for my 60 there less than a month ago

I got one at Napa for a 70 this spring. About 6 fold cheaper than Deere, and it fit.

Please tell me that such a thermostat is delivered in velvet bag containing a beautiful polished box made of Amboyna Burl. And the device itself was hand carved from a block of solid Indium with Palladium and Rhodium moving components by a small group of kindly and dedicated craftspeople wearing small round spectacles and well worn aprons using vintage machines living in a tiny village in the mountains of Iowa. That must be a mighty impressive unit for how proud they appear to be of it.

 

[Bob]

Yeah, why not SHOOT the messenger?

He asked a question, I took the time to look it up, and post the information I found, explaining the situation.

What did YOU do, besides be a %$@#?

made a (evidently astonishingly unsuccessful) minor attempt at some humor poking a little bit of fun at the price that JD decided to charge for the part. no personal offence nor malice intended towards anyone nor any company.

 

[Bob]

Well, ALRIGHTY, then!

Apparently, you have the same luck at successfully posting what you find humorous as I do! (LOL!)

We "play" to a tough audience here!

And for the one we needed for our 730LP, Deere wanted $255.00. But Deere was nice enough to sub it to an incorrect one for only $155.00
When I called a parts support person at Deere and complained that the subbed part would not fit in our tractor and that they subbed the wrong part, I was told "well, the part has been subbed." End of discussion. We ended up having one machined to fit.

Thanks fellas, I will get back to the 60 after corn harvest. (working for a BTO pulling the grain cart.)

Try a Gates stat for about $40 on eBay etc. the #33049 is 2.875" in diameter and is 190F.
There is a Stant that also fits. A #45479 or #13479 for the cheaper Stant.
If you prefer NAPA then a #357-180 or 33388 .

There, those are three sources of stats that will work.

Great. Thanks. I know we tried NAPA, but somehow missed these.
