Rear Track Rod End Ball Joint for Massey Ferguson 35/135/230/240 Series Tractors

Description

When your steering gets sloppy or you hear clunking sounds turning into the field, worn track rod ends are often the culprit. This rear track rod end connects your steering box to the drag link, making every turn of your steering wheel count. It’s not just about convenience – loose steering is downright dangerous when you’re working near ditches or on hillsides.

What You’re Getting

• Heavy-duty forged steel construction that won’t bend under the stress of field work
• Left-hand thread design prevents loosening during operation
• Precision-machined taper ensures a tight, secure fit in your steering arm
• Grease nipple lets you maintain the joint and extend its service life
• Proper 88.9mm length maintains your tractor’s steering geometry

Built for Real Farm Work

Your Massey Ferguson 35, 35X, 135, 148, 230, or 240 handles everything from mowing pastures to cultivating row crops, running a loader, or pulling wagons to market. These versatile tractors are workhorses on small to medium farms, and precise steering is essential whether you’re following furrows or navigating tight barn doors. When track rod ends wear out, you’ll notice play in the steering wheel, wandering on the road, or difficulty holding a straight line.

Made to Last

This isn’t a car part dressed up for tractor use – it’s purpose-built for agricultural punishment. The forged steel body resists bending under heavy steering loads, while the hardened ball and socket maintain precise fit despite constant movement. The tapered shank locks solidly into your steering arm, preventing the dangerous looseness that comes with worn parts.

Installation Notes

Always replace track rod ends in pairs – if one’s worn out, the other isn’t far behind. Use a proper ball joint separator to remove the old end; hammering on the steering arm can damage it. When installing, make sure the taper is clean and seats fully – a loose taper will work its way out quickly. Don’t forget to grease these joints every 50 hours or monthly, whichever comes first.
