Need replacement parts for MF Ind. 205 (1961) power steering box (steering column shaft). Are these parts interchangeable with another tractor model....2135 turf???
 
The 205 is the diesel with hydraulic shuttle correct? if so I am pretty sure a lot of parts interchange with an MF35/TO35. I have a 204 and most everything seems to be pretty interchangable. Do you have pics of the tractor you could post? I kind of need a pic of how the forward/reverse pedal setup is supposed to hook up. :D

Yours would match up with any of the workbulls, (202, 203, 204, 205). Many parts are the same as a TO35 , 35 etc. except for the power steering parts. Well, the valve would probably be the same but the 35 uses power assist right at the steering column while any of the industrials have hyd. cylinders right at the front steering arms which is much more robust.
No new parts are available so you are stuck to used parts which can get pricey. I decided to build my own power steering system for my 202 which works very well and I figure it probably cost me approx. half of what it would have been to rebuild it with original parts and far as I know my system is better. Steers with a single finger even with the front end loader fully loaded with gravel etc.
A brief video of it can be found here http://youtu.be/aXM-ISkLfjQ
 
I"ll send pic"s as soon as I can. Thanks all for the information. Do you know what the value would be for this tractor with loader?? 5K? Working condition.
 
There are a lot of variables when it comes to tractor pricing, aside from the obvious like it's condition, leaks, everything functioning properly, burns oil etc. etc. then there is your location. Often the market plays a large part in it. If everything works well and there is a market, you might get $5k for it. I paid around that for my 202 (gas engine, no shuttle shift) with loader and backhoe, everything working but needing some "massaging". Looking back I think I may have paid a bit too much considering all the $$ I have put into it. Your milage will vary.
 
Here's the photo of my 1961 MF Industrial 205 as you requested.
