Super stant

Looking for the correct Super Stant thermostat for my B2601.

Part number ?

More Information..

My B2601 has been running very cold ( 140 degrees at the thermostat housing ) after running for 30 minutes.

On an earlier post someone had suggested using a Super Stant to better regulate the temperature at a higher level.
My chief concern is that operating diesel engines at cold operating temperatures can cause sludge to form , leading to big problems later.

Call your dealer and ask the parts man for the thermostat for your B2601. Then when he looks it up see it the number he has is: 15321-73016

That should be it.

Thanks for that part number, but I am searching for the Super Standt equivalant so that the engine will operate at a higher temperature.
I understand that they are available in various settings, so that a 170 degree part seems to be the answer.
My dealer reports that "they all run cold"..not the answer I was hoping for.

Anything that runs the cold will lead to problems in the engine, true, too hot is bad but warmer than 140 is needed to get out all the condensation out. In a perfect world - about 210 is perfect, most NASCAR and engine builders try to get right at the magic boiling point to burn out all water that has condensed. I would think you might even get a bit higher than the 170, but then again, that is the point it starts to open. An engine that runs at a higher temp is more efficient too.

I don't think your thermostat is the issue, your probably just cooling it to efficiently.
Do like over the road trucks do and block off air to the radiator.

Or possibly your just not working the engine hard enough?
Like you need to use more RPMS on the engine all the time to get the heat up.

In the really cold winter months, i used to swap the thermostat to a 205 degree.
170 degree stat should do what you need, but if tractor is putting around and not working you wont see any change.
Had to cover rad in the work kubota to get any heat at all. (Minus 30 celcius)
