Kerry,

On my '82 FC35RB 'Bird the airconditioner wall switches are located
next to the driver s seat, you can see them in this photo;

Here is what I have listed that I used on my Perkins, for belts,
hoses and filters and other items, that you may be interested in
making a note of them. My Perkins has a water cooled exhaust
manifold, so keep this in mind, to see if yours has the same
configuration;

These are the part numbers that you need to replace all the hoses on
your Kohler/Perkins 12.5 KW . All are available from Auto Zone.

2ea. M-248 (1) thermostat housing to exhaust manifold cooler inlet
(1) exhaust manifold cooler outlet to inflow tube to
radiator
1ea M-049 top radiator inlet hose from inflow tube
1ea L-326 bottom radiator outlet hose to outflow tube inlet (this
tube is reduced down in size directly after the hose connection)
1ea L-978 radiator outflow tube outlet to engine block (SEE NOTE)

This is a Cut and Fit project. The Molded hose (L-978) has two
different end diameters, make sure that you use the smaller diameter
end trimmed down to the block side and cut the larger diameter end
off, just before the bend.
