Description

When your Massey’s steering starts feeling loose or you’re fighting to keep it tracking straight, the problem often comes down to a worn steering worm. This is the heart of your manual steering system – the threaded shaft that converts your steering wheel turns into actual front wheel movement. This uses time-tested worm and sector gear design that’s been proven over decades. If your worm is worn, every steering input becomes a guessing game.

What You’re Getting

Precision-machined 645mm shaft that matches original factory specs
Hardened steel construction built to handle the constant stress of steering
Proper thread pitch and gear geometry for smooth operation
Direct replacement that works with your existing steering box

Built for Real Farm Work

This steering worm fits the popular Massey Ferguson 100 and 200 series tractors – machines that have been the backbone of agriculture for decades. Whether you’re running a loader on your 185, cultivating with a 265, or mowing with a 168, manual steering gives you that direct mechanical connection to your front wheels – perfect for precision work like cultivating between rows or mowing along fence lines. These tractors handle everything from hay operations to row crop work where precise steering control matters.

Made to Last

The beauty of manual steering is there’s less to go wrong – no hydraulic pumps, no fluid leaks, no pressure lines to burst. This worm shaft is built from quality steel with proper heat treatment to resist wear from the constant turning and loading that comes with farm work. It’s designed to mesh perfectly with your sector gear and eliminate the free play that makes steering feel sloppy.

Installation Notes

Replacing the steering worm requires removing the steering box, so it’s a job best done when you can take your time. Installation requires removing the old box completely, which means disconnecting the steering arms and column. Take photos of the steering arm position before removal to help with reassembly. The 25 1/4″ length ensures proper engagement with your steering sector, restoring that tight, responsive feel these tractors are known for.
