If you’ve noticed your Massey Ferguson getting harder to steer, especially with a loader on front or when making tight turns in the field, chances are your power steering cylinder is wearing out. A weak or leaking cylinder means you’re fighting that steering wheel instead of focusing on your work. This replacement cylinder brings back the effortless steering response that makes these tractors a joy to operate.
What You’re Getting
- Heavy-duty hydraulic cylinder that handles the constant pressure and movement of farm work
- Precision-machined piston and bore for smooth operation without the jerky steering of worn units
- Quality seals that actually hold pressure and keep hydraulic fluid where it belongs
- Complete assembly with integrated valve for proper hydraulic flow control
- Corrosion-resistant finish that stands up to chemicals and weather
Built for Real Farm Work
This cylinder fits the workhorse Massey Ferguson models from the 165 through 290 series, including the legendary 165 and 185 that are still earning their keep on farms everywhere. Whether you’re running a smaller 165 for hay work and chores or pushing a big 290 through heavy field work with a mounted plow, proper steering control makes every job safer and less tiring.
Made to Last
Quality construction means this cylinder will handle whatever you throw at it. The robust hydraulic components are built for agricultural use, not light-duty applications. Modern seal materials resist the deterioration that plagued some original equipment, so you’ll get reliable service for years to come.
Installation Notes
This is a direct replacement that bolts right in place of your original cylinder. You’ll need to bleed the hydraulic system after installation and check for proper fluid levels. A good tip – replace the seals and O-rings during installation even if they look okay, and don’t forget you’ll need an M8 x 1.25 45-degree grease nipple for proper lubrication maintenance.
