Description
When your steering starts feeling loose or you hear that telltale clunking sound when turning, it’s often worn tie rod ends that are the culprit. This left-hand tie rod end is a critical steering component that translates your wheel movements into tire direction changes – and loose steering isn’t just annoying, it’s dangerous when you’re working near ditches or on hillsides. This replacement gets your MF230 or MF245 steering tight and responsive again.

Built for Real Farm Work
This tie rod end is specifically engineered for Massey Ferguson 230 tractors (serial number 9A243032 and up) and all MF245 models, including vineyard and narrow orchard configurations. It also fits industrial 20C turf tractors. These versatile machines handle everything from cultivation and hay work to vineyard operations where precise steering control is essential for navigating tight rows and maintaining accurate implement positioning.
Made to Last
Steering components work in demanding conditions with constant loads from steering inputs, road shock, and exposure to agricultural contaminants. This replacement uses quality materials and construction designed to handle these challenges while providing smooth operation and tight tolerances needed for responsive steering.
Installation Notes
Always replace tie rod ends in pairs – if one’s worn out, the other isn’t far behind. Before removing the old end, measure its position or count the threads showing so you can set the new one close to the same spot. After installation, you’ll need to adjust your toe-in setting – improper alignment will wear out your new ends quickly and cause tire wear. Grease these joints every 50 hours or monthly, whichever comes first.
