Anyone added power steering to their Massey?

[IIIBradIII]

I currently have a 135 diesel without PS and now that I've used both types (135s with PS & without) I want PS back!

I know there are some kits floating out there on the interwebs for it, but I'm curious to know if anyone has any experience with such an aftermarket item?

I was wondering the same thing. My 1020 (DA5220) has no PS but it would be nice. They sold a kit for it but I googled the part# and nothing comes up. If you find something let me know or post it here.

Well here is the one I found on ebay - $599 shipped:
New Massey Ferguson Power Steering Add On Kit Fits 135 - eBay (item 250775811587 end time Mar-20-11 10:26:25 PDT)

This one is from a company called Anatolian (overseas) and will be $750 shipped here to SC:
MF 35 - 35X - 135 - 240 POWER STEERING CONVERSION KITS

This one from Agriline (in the UK) will ship to me for around $530 (usd):

Then there is this one that a member here has purchased (but not yet installed) - I do not yet know what he paid for it:

Have anyone tried to add power steering to a MF35 with any of these or other kits?
It has been more than a year since last post!

Good question..I see a lot of post on many different forums about people starting ps conversion projects, but yet have came cross few-if any that is finished. Anybody done a conversion,especially a custom one that could throw out some details, helpful hints, or just tell a story about it?

[FONT=&quot]I sent a mail to the Turkish company (MF 35 - 35X - 135 - 240 POWER STEERING CONVERSION KITS) but they answered that they [/FONT][FONT=&quot]don't retail![/FONT]

Anybody try to piece together their own kit? Thinking about going this route myself. Would really like to hear from somebody that has done one full hydraulic, with a steering control valve in their system.

The kits I've seen on eBay and other distributors are made for the Perkins engine. They state there may be a bit of welding to do, but the kit looks complete. Now I just wish they made a kit for the Continental Z145. If the Perkins has the sway back front end I don't see why it couldn't be made to work on the Continental.

I have a mf50 with power steering but they made several models of cylinders and parts are hard to find.

I just installed a P.S. kit on a Yanmar tractor. It's basically the same set up as a MF 135. It would be pretty much the same set up. I purchased the cylinder from hoyetractor.com for $200 and had to mount a bracket and some other stuff to make it work. Tonight I finally got it finished. It works like a dream and can now turn the wheel with one finger. If anyone would like pictures of my set up PM me and I can send them your way..
