If you’ve got a Ferguson TE20 TVO tractor that’s been running hot or you’ve noticed coolant puddles where you park, chances are your thermostat housing has given up the ghost. A cracked or corroded thermostat housing doesn’t just leak coolant – it disrupts your entire cooling system’s ability to regulate temperature. This cast iron replacement gets your cooling system back on track so you can get back to work.
What You’re Getting
- Heavy-duty cast iron construction that matches the original Ferguson specs and won’t crack under pressure
- Precision-machined sealing surfaces that create a leak-proof seal when you use new gaskets
- Proper internal coolant passages designed specifically for TVO engine flow requirements
- Threaded connections that line up perfectly with your existing hoses and fittings
- Heat-resistant design that handles the unique operating temperatures of TVO engines
Built for Classic Farm Work
Your Ferguson TE20 has been working farms for generations – plowing gardens, running mowers, powering sawmills, and countless other jobs. The TVO (Tractor Vaporizing Oil) engine was designed to run on cheaper fuel, making it popular with farmers who needed reliable power without breaking the bank. Whether you’re using yours for restoration work, hobby farming, or keeping a family heirloom running, proper cooling is essential.
Made to Last
This housing is cast from quality iron just like the original, so it expands and contracts with your engine block without cracking. These tractors are famous for reliability, but cooling system components eventually succumb to age and corrosion. The precision casting ensures your thermostat fits properly and coolant flows exactly where it should.
Good to Know
Clean all mating surfaces thoroughly before installation. Use new gaskets and proper sealant where specified. Check that your thermostat sits properly in the housing recess – improper seating causes leaks and poor temperature control. While replacing the housing, install a new thermostat and gasket. They’re inexpensive insurance against future problems.
