Is there a cross reference guide where I can find an alternative and comparable thermostat for my 853 unit? would prefer not to have to spend $80 for one from Bobcat

Perfect timing - I just took mine out. The date code of October 92 tells me is the original one for my 1993 Bobcat 853. I haven't tested it yet to see if it still works.
82°C/180°F
2-1/8" diameter
Centered design, not offset
Has a jiggle pin

One more thing I just noticed - the OEM thermostat (and presumably the one Bobcat sells currently) blocks off the bypass port when fully open. Not sure how big a deal it is if a replacement thermostat doesn't close off that port when fully open. Obviously if a replacement thermostat is too deep and hits the port and cannot fully open, then that is not a good thing.
My not-expensive Harbor Freight caliper says you have 1-1/2" from the thermostat flange to the bypass port.

if you go to:
partscatalog.bobcat.com
and put in your serial number you'll get a part number that hopefully will cross reference to something at an auto parts place. O'Reilly has a cross reference lookup option that shows up after you search for a part number it doesn't recognize.

Have you had a chance to run the motor with this Thermostat and verify that it works.
Thank you
