A fellow I work with that used to work at Ford on the diesel trucks said they used to get the 203* t-stats from John Deere. He can't remember exactly what machine they were for except they'd buy them by the box to cure customers complaints of low gauge readings in the winter time. Wish I'd talked to him sooner before buying another original t-stat with the same problem LOL. I guess if someone were to go John Deere and have the parts guys do a similar parts search for a 203* thermostat that measured 65mm in diameter they'd be able to find one?
