@BUTTEWORKS Жыл бұрын

Glad it helped. Just so you know my pump uses the filter with no spring since the spring is built in the cover, unlike other pumps where the spring is built in on the filter. So buy the filter after you open it up to buy the right one.

Nice 231. Good video, Thanks. I run the engine when adding power steering fluid to my 245 , then cycling the steering back and forth to circulate the fluid through the system. Just changed the pump on mine today, and will replace the ram seals tomorrow.

@@BUTTEWORKSwould you notify me when you get video up on this please? I have to do the same thing on my MF240. I really enjoyed your video, I rebuilt my steering cylinders a while back, but still didn't have very good power steering, so I assume the filter is clogged. I have a leak somewhere where on the steering wheel shaft that constantly keeps the steering wheel shaft housing wet with fluid. I assume this is what you're going to be working on in the next video. It's been five months since you did this video, so you may already have made the video. I just subscribed also. Take care.

Remember when filling up pump make sure to top the pump off with the tractor running if not pump will cavitate and not steer correctly at least on one I did

@BUTTEWORKS Жыл бұрын

Yes, I did that, thank you. Unfortunately I have another leak in the power steering control valve under the dash board. Video overhauling the valve soon. Hopefully that keep the power steering system leaks free.

I just wanted to let you know that your videos are fantastic! Excellent step by step process. I used this to rebuild both hydraulic cylinders on our MF-231. I now need to replace the oil filter and O-ring on the reservoir, I could see the filter number on your video but not sure of the viton O-ring size, any help with this be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Thank you for your comment, I really appreciate that. I don't know the diameter of the o-ring but this weekend I need to check the oil level so I'll check it out.

I have a 231s and the steering is hard to the right. What causes that. We have a bucket on ours and we replaced the selector valve and it still leaks. I can get the air out of the lines.

@BUTTEWORKS 3 ай бұрын

I don't know what could cause that. In my ignorance I would overhaul the power steering control valve and would take a look to the linkage and gears under the steering column.

did you remove the spring attached to the filter? Everywhere we look the filter replacement has a spring attached and a smaller opening on the other side.

Good video. What is the power steering serial number? I have the style but can not find one that matches it exactly. A series number would help me find what I need. Thabks

@BUTTEWORKS 10 ай бұрын

Hi, my pump didn't have any serial number and to be hones, it was quite different to the many I could find in internet. Specially the connection. None of the ones I saw online would fit the metal pipes that go into the pump. The would have modified or using adapters to make the angles match.

@user-it3qm9vu4c 9 ай бұрын

Inadequate info provided in the video. You need to unscrew a couple hoses to take the pump off. The creator has not mentioned it at all.

@hellpig4309 2 ай бұрын

Except for when he said you need to remove the two hoses! At 1:25. AND then mentioned reconnecting them after reinstalling the pump.

what's up w/ the MF 231 needing to have power steering fluid maintained in 2 separate places? is this common among all tractors?

@BUTTEWORKS Жыл бұрын

I don't know. I actually don't know if the steering column reservoir and the steering pump reservoir are int he same circuit. I will overhaul the power steering control valve soon so I will find out.

@DB-xp9px Жыл бұрын

@@BUTTEWORKS that is a really good point.....they might not be drawing from the same pool of liquid based altho from some of my troubleshooting efforts, it acted as if the 2 reservoirs do share. i say this b/c i once had the tractor started w/ the steering reservoir's plug removed. each time i turned the wheel, some liquid would get pushed out of it but its level at the steering column wouldn't go down. i was missing a large qty from the pump reservoir after that experiment.

@@BUTTEWORKS I bought a re-seal kit from Agco/Massey Ferguson for the pump on my 231 years ago and paid a mechanic to rebuild the pump for me. It’s worked fine ever since. There were 3 different power steering pumps that was used over the years on the 231 during production. The 231 was in production from 1989-1999. I have service books, parts books, and operators manual for the 331 if you have any questions or need any information.
