Description

When your steering starts feeling loose or you notice a slight weep of gear oil around the steering box, it’s time to replace that gasket. A worn steering box gasket lets dirt and moisture into the gearbox while allowing lubricant to leak out – both problems that’ll make your steering sloppy and eventually damage expensive internal parts. This gasket creates the tight seal your manual steering box needs to keep working smoothly for years to come.

What You’re Getting

Precise fit gasket specifically designed for 165 side model configurations
Quality material that handles the heat and pressure changes around the steering box
Creates proper seal to keep gear oil in and contaminants out
Direct replacement that installs with basic tools and mechanical knowledge

Built for Real Farm Work

This gasket is engineered for the manual steering systems found on these workhorse Massey Ferguson tractors. The 165 series became legendary among farmers for their durability and reliable steering, whether you’re making tight turns around buildings, holding straight lines while cultivating, or maneuvering through gate openings with implements. These tractors handle everything from loader work to field operations where precise steering control is essential.

Made to Last

Farm equipment gaskets take a beating from temperature swings, vibration, and the constant pressure cycling that comes with regular use. This gasket is built to handle those conditions and maintain its seal through seasons of operation. Quality construction means you won’t be doing this job again anytime soon.

Installation Notes

Replacing this gasket means removing the steering box cover, so you’ll want to have fresh gear oil on hand for refilling. Clean both sealing surfaces thoroughly before installation – any debris or old gasket material will cause leaks. Take your time with the cover bolts and torque them evenly to prevent warping.
