Hey Chuck you did a fantastic job on the tractor repair 👍👍I’m sure that will help a lot of people,plus save a ton of money doing it yourself great video 👍👍🇺🇸
Thank you Glenn. It's frustrating when you look, and can't find a repair video for your model, so we figured we would make one, and help folks out. I wouldn't even was to guess what the dealer would charge for this. Probably 3 times what the parts cost me.
Thanks, Chuck. Another bit of info someone in need can find on YT. I've been told, and have told others - "Have a look on TH-cam, mate. Bound to be something there." Well done, folks.
Thank you very much. TH-cam is a great source for repair knowledge. If I'm using it, I always check the comme to to make sure the person in the video knows what they are doing. Folks will let them know in the comments
Good video Chuck. Now your all done, my old Ford is in need of some front end work.. lol glad to see you got that hard working little tractor back up on its feet.
Thank you. Not sure I can open a repair shop just yet though. LOL. Check into into it. Should be some info out there to show you how to fix it. The little tractor lives on.
our Massey Ferguson GC2300 seems to be a clone of that tractor you have. Our steering system is identical except our mounting brackets for the cylinder to not have the added piece to keep the cylinder from spinning. Our brackets are prone to bend outwards and allowing the cylinder to move left and right. I had to weld an additional bracket to keep the brackets from spreading apart. A new cylinder is over $900 from the dealer. I bought the seals, on line, for a fraction of at cost and rebuilt the cylinder. It is working great. Very easy to replace the seals. It working great now.
These brackets had bent out a small amount over the years. I did bend th÷m back in a small amount. Only about 1/8". I bought a rebuild kit for the steering cylinder, but once I found out about the issue with poorly machined cylinder tube, I figured I would just buy an updated new one. It wasn't nearly as expensive, and definitely fixed the issue. I may look into the old cylinder, and see if I can hone the cylinder properly, and rebuild it.
Don’t know what it costs, I gather that’s Deb’s department. Gotta love it when a plan comes together, had faith in you as you make sure everything is cleaned up properly. Cheers my friends.
I just didn't want a reminder of the cost. 😂🤣 When I used to build race engines for dirt bikes and quads, you had to make sure you kept the dirt out, or they didn't last long. This isn't a race machine, but I need it to last a long time. Always feel good to fix it yourself.
Hey Chuck just checking on your appointment schedule I need to replace my chrome plated dipstick modulator valve and I can't find it 😂😆😂😆. No in all seriousness great job you might be mechanically inclined 😆😆. Always good to see you guys great job showing it to us. Pro tip for lines use a set of vice grips to help hold the fittings works well with brake lines too. Anyways As always good luck and God Bless.
I just picked one up. Seems to be a lot less videos on this model. I can't confirm the coolant level, looks like I have to remove the cowling to visualize the reservoir. It's also missing the nuts and cotter pins that hold the tie rod pin/bolt to the wheel. I can find a part number but no description, i.e., size and type, a castle nut perhaps?

January, 2023: Steering cylinder was $300 at the dealer, including tax at 7.25%.
Hey I&O. Sorry I’ve been missing the videos. Been working an outage. Enjoyed it.
Not a problem. Good to see you back here at the mill. Take care of those priorities first. We'll be here making videos for when you can make it back.
Awesome work Chuck and Deb
Thank you Don. Deb is there in most of the video. She's definitely a great support
Thanks. Nice video work. Great to see the steps for the steering cylinder change out; got the same issue on a 2008 BX2350.
Thank you Jack. They are common, if not the same cylinder. I hope this video helps alot.
Doing my BX2200 right now. Thanks for video.
Glad the video helped. Good luck with your repair.
Good morning thanks for the video

That fitting would be NPT X JIC
That's the one I couldn't remember, JIC. You are correct .
