What engine do you as the IPL is showing air cooled FC420V engines?

This is a 1986 Kawasaki 17h and the water pump is on the front. When removed the radiator to replace the thermostat there was no thermostat or gasket. I have both new and can't tell by the drawings if there should be two gaskets, top and bottom or only one. If only one, which side of the thermostat should it be?

Hello N.,

Whenever you post, be sure to add the product label information on the chassis and the product label information on the engine. JD does not build the engines for their lawn equipment.

The more information you provide the better we can help you without taking wild guesses.

Thank you for the detailed drawing for the thermostat and housing. It answered my question. I searched and did not find the details that you provided. Much appreciated and how do I find specs like that?
 
For the 285 JD list 4 engines. All are Kawasaki FD590V. Specs AS00, AS01 [fuel injected], AS04, and a BS04.
