The power steering cylinders were leaking badly rendering the power steering useless. With simple tools and an inexpensive rebuild kit, they came back to live.

Once you repair the cylinder, how do you get it back on the tractor?

@BUTTEWORKS 8 ай бұрын

It is a bolt on cylinder, only two bolts.

How do you bleed the system after reinstalling? I replaced on of the cylinders due to a busted ball joint. Steering is extremely hard now when before I could turn it with 1 finger

I actually never bleed the system it just worked. I guess that air bubbles will be pushed to the pump oil reservoire. However if you think you may have air, try to loosen up the highest connectors, at the power steering control valve. Just crack them loose and see if while engine is running and you turning the wheel it releases any air.

Or perhaps the pump is is not working…

Hi!! I have a question. I have a 231s. The power steering has gotten harder to work over the past 8-ish hours. When I pull the filter, it’s frothy, so I suspect air in the line. How do I bleed the line? I’m a rookie.

@tinajvaldez 11 ай бұрын

Note: The 231s has a slightly different pump and filter set up than yours. I also have a quick connect at the rear of the tractor - is that where I bleed?

Hi Tina, it seems to me more like you have water in the oil. Oil should be transparent when new and water emulsion would make oil look like a milkshake. I would drain the oil and add new one. Run the tractor it should stay clear. Have you ever changed that fluid and filter?. Is the tractor stay under the rain?

Why it there an orange zip tie on the tie rod end?

@BUTTEWORKS Жыл бұрын

I marked the right cylinder with a zip tie as well as both right hydraulic hoses on both sides of the tractor. Just a marker.

How do u remove the cylinder

@BUTTEWORKS Жыл бұрын

There is one bolt in one end and the ball join in the outer end. Just two nuts, very simple. Disconnect the 2. Hydraulic hoses as well.

@chipdavis1 7 ай бұрын

I remove the nut from my MF360 but the threaded shaft doesn’t come out easy. There is a slot like you are supposed to use a large flathead screwdriver maybe?

Where did you get the re-seal kit? I have a 1998 Massey Ferguson 231.

@BUTTEWORKS Жыл бұрын

I got them on Amazon, link in the description in the video. I believe you can buy them on ebay as well.
