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.

@@IronOakSawmill yes sir brother I think at the tractor dealership around here over 100 bucks an hour 👍

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 KZread, mate. Bound to be something there." Well done, folks.

Glad to do it Rick. Hopefully save someone a bit of hassle if they have to do the same repair. See you around, and thank you for watching

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.

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.

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.

January, 2023: Steering cylinder was $300 at the dealer, including tax at 7.25%.

Thanks. Nice video work. Great to see the steps for the steering cylinder change out; got the same issue on a 2008 BX2350.

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?

That fitting would be NPT X JIC
