THere is usually a metal ring or clip that holds the rim of the Tstat into a recess in the meatl housing. This ring can be made from a piece of stainless steel wire about .040" or there abouts. The bellows side goes toward the engine (it usually has an arrow with -- To RAD -- Pointing to the radiator direction. Some have a small capsule about the size of a fat thimble that is a Wax piston that opens the valve. This is also to be on the engine side. A gasket needs to be made (or bought to seal the housing. It should be coated very lightly with #2 permatex on both sides. Be sure to get all old gasket off both surfaces. Good luck. JimN
 
Go to www.caseih.com's online parts manuals, type in Super C and follow the resulting menu. Your thermostat will look different, but you should be able to figure it out.
 
Jim, your post was hidden at the bottom of the page, thought I was the first to answer, would not have answered otherwise.
 
You took the hose off between the motor and the top of the radiator. The t-stat goes first in the metal neck of the motor end. The inside of the neck should be machined with a bit of a ridge to hold the edge of the stat. It likely will rattle around a little bit but not fall in.

As for which way it goes . . . I'm not sure what kind of replacement they gave you, but if it has one side that has something of an arch with a spring on the opposite side, the spring side goes toward the head, and the arch toward the radiator.

Did they have the spring retainer clip I described last night? Once the thermostat is in place, just compress that clip so that it fits into the neck and guide it down until it snaps into the recess that should be there to hold it. That will keep the flow of coolant from washing your thermostat into the tank at the top of your radiator or, at the least floating around in the hose.
