Massey Ferguson 235 power steering

[fyrmanjax]

First time posting on the forum and looking for some help.

We have an MF 235 that runs great and everything works good except the power steering. I have read enough to know that this was a major problem with this tractor. We have had it for about 10 years now and its been a good tractor. We now have a major leak of fluid from one of the pitman arms on the steering box. Does anybody know where to find parts for this. I've read that everything from one seal to the entire steering gearbox needs to be replaced. Not even sure what parts are needed. Obviously parts are hard to find and we are wondering if it can be converted to a manual steering setup with just swapping the gearbox.

Thanks for any help.

they are all over here. massey ferguson 235 power steering kit - Google Search but you're better off using the steering from the 245, which was made to last.. apparently, the 235 had junk steering.. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct...ing-fix.html&usg=AOvVaw2a2SO9hLoQYtaml85qyMvy

I've googled everything I can think of. I cannot find anything that looks like what I've got. There is one on ebay that says its for a 235 but looks completely different. I'm not sure if they had different versions or what.

Massey Ferguson won't even talk to you about these. They do not make parts for it anymore. I think we found one on ebay. Spoke with the guy that has it and I'm pretty sure its what we need. He says he is one of about 4 people in the states that can rebuild them. He has to make some of the parts for it.

well, that don't bode well at all for Massey Ferguson!.. but if it's only seals you need, if you look on the seals, you should see the part number, most manufacturers buy seals that are in common use, and interchangeable, few parts are custom made, because of the cost!..
