Description

When you notice your power steering starting to feel weak or spot hydraulic fluid under your tractor, that banjo bolt at the top of your steering ram might be the culprit. This little fitting handles serious pressure – we’re talking 1,000-1,500 PSI during normal operation – and when it starts leaking or comes loose, your steering goes from smooth to sluggish real quick. This 1/2″ JIC threaded banjo bolt is specifically made for the top connection on Massey Ferguson power steering rams, giving you that secure connection your hydraulic system needs.

What You’re Getting

Hollow design that lets hydraulic fluid flow straight through without restrictions
1/2″ JIC threads that create a metal-to-metal seal for leak-free operation
360-degree swivel connection so your hydraulic hose can move freely without binding
Direct replacement that fits exactly like the original factory part

Built for Real Farm Work

This banjo bolt is designed for the workhorse Massey Ferguson tractors – your 135s and 165s handling loader work around the barn, the 175s and 185s pulling equipment through heavy ground, and those reliable 200 series models doing everything from hay work to cultivation. When you’re making tight turns with a loaded bucket or trying to hold a straight line while discing, proper power steering makes all the difference between a good day and a long day.

Made to Last

Quality banjo bolts are precision-machined to handle the constant pressure cycles and vibration your tractor dishes out. The JIC threads are cut to exact specs so they seal properly without over-tightening, and the hollow center is sized just right to keep hydraulic fluid flowing without creating back-pressure that can damage your pump.

Good to Know

Always use fresh sealing washers on both sides when you install this – old washers leak every time. Clean the threads thoroughly and torque to spec – don’t just tighten until it feels right. If your old bolt has been stuck for years, a little heat and penetrating oil usually breaks it loose without damage.
