M11 thermostat

March 13, 2019, 08:21:33 pm

I took the thermostat out and there was a metal disc in the hose coming out of the bottom.  Can anyone enlighten me as to what it is there for?
Also, the thermostat seemed to be open and it is about 65 degrees .  I have had thermostats out of
John Deere and Intermational tractors but never one of these,  i'm Not sure I understand what i'm Looking at.  Any help or guidance would be appreciated
Thanks
Chris

That is there to make the cooler work correctly for the transmission cooler with the retarder. There is some threads that show a print of this somewhere in the archives. I will see if I can find it. That is the correct location for the orifice according to what I see in the pics. If you remove it and leave it out the trans cooler won't get the proper flow which will result in a lot of head scratching.
