Anyone running a 71 degree thermostat in their Kubota D600?
Hey all,
Being doing a cooling system overhaul in the form of a new water pump and hoses. While I had it apart, I somehow misplaced the original thermostat. I happened to have another on hand that I mistakenly purchased awhile back. The original is an 82 degree Tstat, and as I mentioned the new one is 71. It's in the 882 and has no cooling issues at all. Will the lower temps cause the engine to detonate poorly?

Just really watch the temp when its 80 / 90 ยบ + outside. The smaller temp stat wont close long enough to let the radiator cool . Then all it will do is circulate hot fluid.

 Google says that is 180 degree to 160 degree. It won't hurt anything. But personally, I wouldn't. I don't like to go colder unless absolutely necessary. But that partially comes from today's modern engines. The computer does funny things if the t-stat temp isn't correct.

Yes, modern automobile engines would surely not like a mismatched Tstat. I'm thinking the little D600 is old enough it won't care one way or another. Guess I'll try it for awhile and see what the summer operation brings.

Older engines would run ok, but the cooler water did cause uneven wear on the cylinders. The cylinder would egg with wear being more prominent at the spots the water hit the cylinder.
It should run fine. Maybe not a good on fuel. But suggest putting the 71 deg back in when you get the chance.

Agreed, at the least I've a little bit more about engines and whatnot. I'll get a new one on order so the old one will turn up once I pay...

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
