A couple questions about 1975 Massey Ferg 230 gasoline tractor?
1. The power steering system has a light weight oil in it not transmission fluid. Looks like the transmission oil in the gear cases. It has water in it so is cloudy and peanut butter colored. What oil is supposed to be used? What is best way to drain the whole system?
2.Where can I buy after market dist cap ,rotor, points, condensor for this tractor? It has a Prestolite distributor. Massey dealer wanted over 100.00 for these parts!

Check to see if you can get the ignition parts from a tisco dealer.. like TSC.. etc.

Also.. napa has an ag application book.. you can likely look them up.. but you will probably pay about the same $$

My father had a massey 230 with the perkins diesel. Good tractor, but sucked for traction with the heavy 231 loader.

I don't recall ever seeing one of these in 15 years. You've got the first one i've heard of in at least that long.
