Title: Thermostat for 10KW Power Tech
Post by: FourTravelers on May 16, 2017, 10:21:02 pm
I have a Model PTS-MH-10FT,
I THOUGHT,    ::) ........ I purchased the correct thermostat (Kubota #19434-73014) Nope! It's too large in diameter, wont fit in the housing. Does anyone have the correct Kubota part # ? Tried to save a buck or two and purchase from the local Kubota tractor dealer.
I suppose that I could pull the old one and run it to NAPA and let them try to match it up........ The guy already hides behind the counter when he sees me come in the door.    "Oh no....... it's that motorhome guy again"!!

You might try giving PowerTech a call in Leesburg, FL (352-365-2777) with that model number.  They still had thermostats for my previous '95 coach (not Foretravel) and were quite helpful.  Depending on where you're located they could probably get one to you fairly quickly.

On my 1994 Bluebird BMC with 10KW Kubota, Power Technology SE was a great help in finding correct parts and numbers.
