Description

When your steering starts getting sloppy or you notice hydraulic fluid leaking from the power steering cylinder, chances are the piston rod is worn or damaged. This is the part that does all the work inside your steering ram, converting hydraulic pressure into the smooth steering assist you count on. A worn piston rod means harder steering and eventual system failure right when you need it most.

What You’re Getting

Coarse thread design that matches your original ram specifications
Heavy-duty construction that handles the constant cycling of power steering operation
Precision machined surfaces that seal properly with new or existing cylinder seals
Direct replacement for ram part number 1662947
Left hand configuration for MF 135 and right hand for MF 240 applications

Built for Real Farm Work

This piston rod is engineered specifically for Massey Ferguson 135 and 240 tractors equipped with power steering systems. These are tough, versatile machines used for everything from cultivation and hay operations to loader work and road maintenance. When you’re spending long days in the seat, proper steering function isn’t just about comfort—it’s about getting the job done safely and efficiently.

Made to Last

Farm hydraulic systems operate under demanding conditions with high pressures, temperature extremes, and contaminated fluid. This rod is manufactured to handle those challenges with hardened surfaces and precise tolerances that maintain seal integrity. Quality construction means fewer breakdowns and longer service life.

Installation Notes

This rod works with steering ram 1662947 and requires proper hydraulic system bleeding after installation. If you’re rebuilding the entire ram, now’s the perfect time to replace seals and check cylinder bore condition. Keep the rod protected during storage to prevent surface damage that could cause premature seal wear.
