Brake Cross Shaft for Massey Ferguson 35, 65, 135, 165, and 200-300 Series Tractors

Description

You know that moment when one brake grabs harder than the other, making your tractor pull to one side during stops? Or when your brake pedals don’t spring back like they should? Nine times out of ten, it’s this brake cross shaft that’s causing the trouble. This equalizer bar connects your brake system together, making sure both wheels get the same braking force when you need to stop—whether you’re coming down a steep hill with a loaded wagon or making precise turns around the barn lot.

What You’re Getting

• Precision-machined shaft that equalizes braking force between both wheels
• Heavy-duty construction built to handle repeated brake applications without bending
• Proper geometry that restores smooth, reliable pedal operation
• Direct replacement that fits like the original—no modifications needed

Built for Real Farm Work

This cross shaft fits the workhorses of many farm operations—from the compact 35 series perfect for tight spaces to the heavier 390s pulling big implements. Whether you’re using individual wheel brakes for tight headland turns or locking the pedals together for straight-line stops, this shaft ensures both sides work together the way they’re supposed to.

Made to Last

Farm brake systems take a beating, and this cross shaft is built to handle it. The robust construction resists the bending and wear that causes uneven braking, while precision machining maintains proper alignment through years of hard use. It’s built to farm-grade standards that’ll restore the confident braking your tractor had when it was new.

Good to Know

Installation means getting into the brake components, so plan on supporting everything safely. While you’re in there, it’s smart to clean and inspect all the bushings and pivot points—worn bushings cause rapid shaft wear, so consider replacing them together for a lasting repair. Most folks with some mechanical experience can tackle this job in 2-3 hours. If your old shaft is bent, check what caused it—often there’s a seized brake component that needs attention too.
