No water pump on a A and the thermostat was a special
attachment, it came with the kerosene/distillate package which
included a lower water outlet, special manifold, radiator shutters
and distillate pistons. The thermostat screws into a plug hole in
a lower water outlet. If there is no plug hole there, then your
tractor didn't come with that package. You can get a lower water
outlet that allows you to add a thermostat, but it isn't worth the
effort as the thermostat is useful only when running on distillate
with the special manifold and with the shutters operating.
Otherwise, it always registers cold. On an A the thermostat was
used to know when the engine was hot enough to switch over
from gasoline to distillate. If the radiator is in good condition
and the water passages are clear an A should not overheat, even
without a pump.
