IH 300U Thermostat

Posted by Dellbertt on October 11, 2006 at 15:44:08 from (204.39.209.214):

I found a local honest wizard that performed his magic and repaired my radiator for $45.

I went through a lot of stuff trying to not pay the $30 that my local IH dealer wanted for a new thermostat. I finally found a direct replacement for $17 at a local auto parts store. Stant#13436

The factory replacement thermostat has a housing around the spring which only fits in the water jacket housing upside down from normal. Usually a thermostat fits with the smooth side up and the spring side down. This one has a space built into the top housing for the thermostat housing to fit into that looks upside down to most, but only fits this one way.

I found this interesting so I thought I would pass it on. I hope I installed it correctly as it is the only way it would fit.

The thermostat that I took out did not have the housing on it like the one in the parts book and like the one that I put in.

Any way, it looks like it is in there upside down to me but it is the only way it would fit.

Hope this made sense.
