    Massey Ferguson GC 2300 bent steering box brackets :(

    Yes i did check when adjusting that it would not rub the frame but i dont think the ram on the GC will push the pivot far enough for the tyres to touch anyway.

    Massey Ferguson GC 2300 bent steering box brackets :(

    I adjusted the stops again to cause stop just before full ram extension both sides. Leaves just a tiny push, more a flex on the ram. After 1hr light slashing some weeds work brackets are ok, i drove trying not to full lock. Ram has a slight movement in brackets when you just rock the steering...

    Massey Ferguson GC 2300 bent steering box brackets :(

    Thanks for the pics It did do some recent heavy bucket work dirt and gravel with myself, but i am 99% sure it had the issue prior but i dont know if i made it worse. I had noticed some slop in the steering prior but did not check it thoroughly.... then when doing the dirt work i stopped and...

    DMW could you check where your stops are (touching or not on lock) and let me know please. As per Hube2 post link, i dont want them to have no stop and damage the ram.... I might need to re-adjust for the last few mm of ram travel.

    Massey Ferguson GC 2300 bent steering box brackets :(

    Ok so i took the plates off, flattened them out again, put them back on. At full lock, bolts on stops were touching and i reckon the ram was pushing on brackets. I have backed off the stops to give me a small gap of 5mm and it does seem to have helped. I ran out of time (and light) but will...

    Massey Ferguson GC 2300 bent steering box brackets :(

    Yep, your thinking what i mean. Its my next thing to check once i get it straightened out again. If there is a small gap on the stop at full ram extension it cannot ''push" but would still act as a stop in if needed tractor is not at my location so cant just walk and have a look :(

    Massey Ferguson GC 2300 bent steering box brackets :(

    Thanks All Just to clarify, both sides are bent "out" and yes i have seen the issue on another thread but not the solution or cause. JWR - to much steering force may be it, say on near full lock and then wheels "pulling" or early lock is causing ''pushing" opposite on the ram bending the...

    Massey Ferguson GC 2300 bent steering box brackets :(

    Here is a parts diagram, i also would have thought the tie rod end links would bend 1st if they had to if the ram just kept pushing. I will flatten again tomorrow but am trying to make sense of it 1st.

    Hi everyone We have a GC2300 at our little pony club that has bent the steering box bent brackets that hold the hydraulic unit. I removed them, flattened them and reinstalled but it has done it again after a few hours use and actually seems worse. Can anyone explain why it might do this ? I...
