I know this is too late for helping Sportsman95, but cross checking pipe thread and operating temps, Polaris part# 4110189= $29.80 or 4010202=$68.00, will fit this machine, it has 1/2" pipe thread and opens around 175 degrees then closes at 155 degrees. I to looked for this, but came up empty at first. I went with a variable temp switch to control the fan, and put a water temp probe in the radiator where the sensor was bolted, (with the gauge under the seat to keep somewhat protected,as I dont do any deep water crossing) to see exactly what operating temps i run,and adjust fan accordingly. If the variable switch fails, the wiring is right there to put in a rocker switch for key on fan if needed
