Description

When your Ferguson or Massey Harris tractor’s three-point hitch starts moving slowly or won’t lift implements properly, the problem is often a worn hydraulic lift piston. These tractors revolutionized farming with Harry Ferguson’s three-point hitch system and that hydraulic system needs to work smoothly for everything from plowing to mowing. This 2-1/2 inch diameter piston is the workhorse that transfers hydraulic pressure into the lifting motion your implements depend on.

What You’re Getting

Precision-machined 2-1/2 inch diameter piston designed for consistent hydraulic operation
Quality construction that handles the constant pressure cycling of three-point hitch work
Direct replacement for worn original pistons – no modifications needed
Sold without rings for flexibility in your rebuild (ring set 180898M1 available separately)

Built for Real Farm Work

This piston fits the legendary Ferguson TE20, TO20, TO30, and early TO35 tractors, plus Massey Harris F40 and MH50 models. These tractors remain popular for small farms, vintage collections, and light utility work. Whether you’re running a cultivator, disc, or brush hog, proper hydraulic lift operation keeps your implements at the right working height and makes quick adjustments between rows or around obstacles.

Made to Last

The hydraulic system on these vintage tractors was advanced for its time and still performs well when properly maintained. This piston is manufactured to original specifications, ensuring it’ll handle the pressure and wear that comes with regular farm use. The quality steel construction resists scoring and maintains proper seal contact for years of reliable service.

Good to Know

This piston comes without rings, so you can choose to reuse your existing rings if they’re in good shape or order new ones separately. Most rebuilds benefit from fresh rings for the best seal. Remember to clean the cylinder bore thoroughly and check for scoring before installation – a smooth surface is crucial for proper piston seal life.
