jojododge 0 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 i got this 756 310 german diesel with this canister style thermostat. ive found a few but none that actually works. i heard a fella could swap out the coolant rail with a thermostat houseing on it from another motor. if somebody could lead me in the right direction, itll be great Quote Link to post Share on other sites
J-Mech 1,262 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Why are you wanting to change it? What's wrong with the thermostat housing on it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

J the 706 german did not incorperate a thermostat housing in the water manifold. The thermostat was in its own brass canister and replaced as a unit. They were always expensive and I assume nla now. Eventually they changed this and incorporated a normal thermostat housing in the water manifold. I do not know when the change took place. Certainly by the 686 version. It's also possible 358 manifolds would fit but I don't know this. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jojododge 0 Posted February 18 Author Share Posted February 18 would the 358 manifolds be the route get get rid of the brass canister thermostat? or is there more to change out. otherwise my plan is to keep the brass thermostat stuck open, because right now i have a 30-30 casing stuck in the thermostat and install a inline thermostat houseing in the hose going to the radiator. if i dont find another way Quote Link to post Share on other sites
snoshoe 464 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Can't answer your question. I had as much luck finding engines today on the part site as I did bottoms a couple days ago. I do not know if the 358 manifolds fit. I only mentioned them as I think they would be more plentiful than 310's with the later manifold. The fault with your alternate plan lies with the bypass. It needs to be open when thermostat is closed and closed when thermostat is open. A thermostat in hose will not acomplish that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jojododge 0 Posted February 19 Author Share Posted February 19 yea i see what you mean now. yea the inline thermostat wont work. i guess ill keep looking around and find something that works thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
snoshoe 464 Posted Friday at 04:02 PM Share Posted Friday at 04:02 PM By googling "d310 thermostat" I came across a link to thread on this forum of a guy who took his canister apart. Removed old thermostat and installed new one. Then soldered canister back together. I don't seem to be able to create links any better than I can use the parts site. The thread was dated january 2015 and does not indicate if bypass remained functional or not. It appears late 756, late 715 as well as the h86 and 686 would have had the later style manifold.
