Wanted: Thermostat for 1980 LF
Hello all,
I'm starting a restoration on a 1980 Liquifire and found that the sled has no thermostat. Does anyone know where I could find one? Does Stant make a 108deg stat that will work?
Thanks,Randy

Re: Wanted: Thermostat for 1980 LF
I would like a new one BUT if no one can tell me where to get one I will have to settle for used. Have you tested it and what would you want for it?
Thanks
Thanks

Has anyone found a source for new yet?? Seems to be a common part but HARD to find

Hi Guys,
I check over at Kawitrax and they noted that Deere used the same thermostate in the Liquifire as they did in the Invader. I hear rumor that a Polaris unit "might fit" but I have never tried it. I do not currently know of a source for new Kawi units, and have used ones running in my sleds.
Sorry I can't be of more help,

If the Invader one does fit, there are usually some on ebay.

Re: Wanted: Thermostat for 1980 LF
I have never seen one listed on ebay from Deere, but I have seen them new listed for the Invader. I picked one up for my 80 Liquifre this fall, and it fits fine.....Terre
Re: Wanted: Thermostat for 1980 LF
The ones currently listed on eBay are not the correct part number for the 80 LF. Maybe they interchange but idk

Re: Wanted: Thermostat for 1980 LF
I found someone on Ebay parting out an Invader and got the thermostat and it looks exactly like the JD unit and operates at the right temp and fits perfectly!
Thanks all,Randy
