T&T: Perkins thermostat

[Greg Bowers]

I agree that tadiesel is great.   Mine is mid 80's and has two stats per
engine.  They are located behind the rectangular plate on the front of the
coolant tank.  A word of caution - start soaking these bolts with penetrant
now!!!

parts. Great folks to deal with. 

Many times you can find common Perkins parts at tractor supply companies
too.
