No water pump on a A and the thermostat was a special attachment, it came with the kerosene/distillate package which included a lower water outlet, special manifold, radiator shutters and distillate pistons. The thermostat screws into a plug hole in a lower water outlet. If there is no plug hole there, then your tractor didn't come with that package. You can get a lower water outlet that allows you to add a thermostat, but it isn't worth the effort as the thermostat is useful only when running on distillate with the special manifold and with the shutters operating. Otherwise, it always registers cold. On an A the thermostat was used to know when the engine was hot enough to switch over from gasoline to distillate. If the radiator is in good condition and the water passages are clear an A should not overheat, even without a pump.
