It seems in my line of work(that makes money) everyone wants to change the thermostat if their tractor is overheating. Neglecting to clean radiator, slipping fan belt, ect. ect. I personally have not replaced a thermostat in several years. The current thermostsats have a "wax Pellet" design and just don't seem to fail. Is this a trend? Have they became more reliable? I'd really like to know.
Just for kicks, I have replaced only 1 key switch that needed it in 20 years of Kubota repair.

Not that it's exactly the same, but I have thermostats from british cars built in the 1950's that can't be replaced and work perfectly. I have no idea why...
slipping fan belt is the most popular reason for overheating that I have found.
