The thermostat is in the bulging cast iron "blob" at the top radiator hose. It comes apart rather easily. New gaskets can be cut from NAPA .030" gasket paper by using a ballpeen hammer and tapping the gasket material gently all around the edges of the removed half of the casting (including the holes) the resulting gasket is perfect. Place the thermostat in a coffe can (or the like) and heat it on the stove. Use a candy thermometer to check the opening temp. If the water boils it is toast (in this case).
Other issues are gow much water will flow through the radiator and out the bottom hose (disconnected) if it is restricted, it will flow less than you can pour in the neck. JimN
