Massey Ferguson 230 Steering Fix

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ต.ค. 2019
- In this video we're working on a fellow firefighters 1980 Massey Ferguson 230 farm tractor. This one needed some attention to the power steering, fuel system, and wiring. As it turned out, the power steering system was low on fluid even though the reservoir initially looked as if it had plenty. There was a diesel fuel leak where 2 return lines joined and went back into the fuel tank. The key switch also did not work, and after some wire tracing and a little checking with a multi-meter those issues got resolved too.

We can guarantee you will see plenty of tractors, bulldozers, excavators, trucks, diesel stuff, welding, and repair videos. There's a wide array of equipment showcased, anything from John Deere, International, Farmall, Ford, Komatsu, and the list goes on. Andy drives a Dodge 12 valve Cummins diesel, Matt is currently in a big block Chevy (but that will probably change). If this seems like stuff you're interested in, check us out!

Great video really informative
A job well done 👌
Thank you for all your help with my MF 275.
Would have been nice to have known how you fixed the power steering.
I've subscribed to your channel
Funny how filling the steering reservoir fixes it so easy 🤣😂
I'm never that lucky😪
Gosselin Farms Ed Gosselin here’s the crazy part...when I first checked the reservoir you could see fluid, it was down about an inch. I added fluid while it wasn’t running and no change. Then I read the actual procedure, filled while running and all of a sudden it picked up and started working.
@@AmericanTradesmen LOL..
I've worked on a 135 a few times... Same pump, different setup. Last time I worked on it, all hell had broke loose!!
Oil blew out the steering column, the rack block broke out the wear plate and top cover...
After getting it done, we had a couple of leaks, but it was working!!
The leaks were because the cylinder rod got messed up, it was leaking into the gearbox. Eventually, I didn't have time to work on it, plus the head gasket had blown (running the grain vac is too much for the little ones😪)
The dealer got to fix it... And some other things... Took them all the summer of 2018, they'd bring it back, we'd send it back in....
Finally, the decision was made, it had to be a bad pump... Three new pumps later, it works as it should.
A good share of the time was waiting for new pumps, seems there are no OEM, only aftermarket. And they just don't bother to make sure they work...
The one that's on it now, came from a different supplier.. they actually test them before shipping!!!
Is there a certain type of power steering fluid or hydraulic or transmission fluid what type can you put in that I know that sounds kind of crazy it should be power steering fluid but when I check mine mine had read and it worked fine and would like to put whatever it was in back in
@@scottyboy7804 Massey used their own hydraulic/transmission fluid. I don't recall what they called it. But it's basically the same as the old Chevy power steering fluid/Automatic transmission fluid.. (not Ford, as it doesn't like things besides Ford)
We use Hy-Tran, Case-IH transmission/hydraulic fluid in almost everything..
Hi, great video! What type of oil goes in the power steering pump? Thanks
Steering cylinder rod seals leak on mine,have to refill resavoir every time I use it,the best way to fill the resavoir I have found is fill until it runs out,screw plug back in,turn fully left to right,center the wheel back up,then refill again,mine is always low until I figured this out,it always holds more then it is actually full!
Does 3070 Massey Ferguson have power steering filter and if it does where is it located? Thanks
My 230 is doing the same thing as for the steering. What type if fluid did you use to fill it back up?
My steering box where the steering wheel shaft enters, was full of water. it steers by raising up or down and the control arms move in opposite directions. for some reason, which I'm still not sure, it won't turn left. i haven't taken it full apart yet, there's been a few things I need to finish before I can get back to it. but when I do, it would be nice to have a clue, where to start.
Hi got a 175. Mass Ferguson what type of fluid it takes it power steering or hydraulic
Being that I have yet to work on a 175 I did a little research before responding. It appears that with age the power steering pump front seal will begin to leak into the timing case on the engine. Front what I understand these particular pumps are very forgiving as to what fluid you can run in them. With that said many suggestions online were to use engine oil for power steering fluid so if your pumps front seal is in fact leaking you won’t be introducing power steering fluid into your engines crankcase.
I have a Mf 4500 1960 forklift ,I replace the pump but now just turn to one side what can be thanks.
Hi A question to anyone that would be kind enough a to know and give the answer.I am working on a massey ferguson 50e tractor and for the steering it has hydraulic cylinders and the lines got taken off and i am having trouble figuring out how they hook up.Can anyone help me out.Thanks
Chucke2009 said to yank all of the wiring out and then wonder how come it wont start.
That's about what I normally do! However in this case the wiring hadn't been touched under the dash. It was all still factory and in good shape (other than those fuse holders!)
pro trick: watch series at Flixzone. Been using it for watching loads of movies lately.
@Krew Anakin yup, have been watching on flixzone} for since november myself :)
I have a 231s massey ferguson and since i've owned it the 3 point goes down incredibly slow, does anyone have any ideas why?
big D fan just starting with the simple things first, have you tried adjusting the lowering speed control? If so, did it make any change at all?
@@AmericanTradesmen I have tried that and it makes no difference at all
@@bigDH123 when you have an implement of substantial size or weight hooked up does it change the lower speed any?
@@AmericanTradesmen Nope don't seem to make a difference.
big D fan I haven’t torn down a MF yet so I wouldn’t want to give you any misinformation. I know that Ferguson and Ford hydraulics are very similar and for good reason so that was what I based my question and suggestions on. If I run across a possible solution I will definitely pass it on.
