Does the Perkins XN1P in the Cat V50E have a thermostat?

I'm having overheating problems with my 1996 Cat V50E and my first thought was the thermostat sticking. I have looked at the engine and can't find one. The top hose goes right to the water pump. Am I missing something?


Thanks in advance for your thoughts!"
