Description

When your power steering starts feeling stiff or making noise, there’s a good chance contaminated fluid is the culprit. This specialized filter element is designed for the high pressures in power steering systems, with steel construction and proper wall thickness to handle pressure spikes. This little filter keeps your MF253’s Plessey power steering pump running smooth by catching dirt and metal particles before they can damage expensive internal components.

Key Features

Designed specifically for Plessey power steering pumps on MF253 tractors
Premium filtration media that effectively removes particles, moisture, and contaminants from hydraulic fluid
Protects expensive pumps, valves, and cylinders from dirt and metal particles that can cause costly damage
Direct replacement element – no modifications needed
Extended service life while maintaining consistent flow rates and system pressure

Built for Real Farm Work

The MF253 with its Plessey power steering system was built for utility work around the farm. These mid-size tractors handle diverse tasks where steering effort really matters, like maneuvering with a full loader bucket, making tight turns at row ends, or just reducing fatigue during those 12-hour planting days. This filter element also fits certain industrial applications and forklifts with Perkins engines that use the same Plessey pump setup.

Made to Last

Heavy-duty construction handles hydraulic system pressure and flow demands with quality materials that resist breakdown from hydraulic fluid and temperature extremes. Professional-grade construction prevents both leaks and damaged pump connections, keeping you working instead of wrenching.

Installation Notes

This is a straightforward replacement that most folks can handle in their own shop. Clean fitting threads thoroughly before installation – contamination causes leaks and pump damage. Bleed the system completely after installation to remove air, and check fluid level to top off with correct hydraulic fluid. Change this filter regularly to prevent contaminated fluid from circulating through your system, which leads to sluggish operation and eventual hydraulic failure.
