Massey 281XE with massey loader

Freddy · Jun 5, 2014

Tractor has steering rod clearance issue with this massey 1060 loader frame. The rods are bent from the frame of the loader. As the front end bolsters up and down the first thing to hit is the steering rode on the loader frame. then as the front end rocks more bends the rod badly to match angle. Looks like the steering arms are the not the right ones. Tractor has 400 hours on it. All purchased assembled from massey dealer. Any help in figuring out the problems on this would be greatly appreciated.

Is your 281 fwa?

Seems to me the 1060 MF loaders were "2wd" since the full wrap around design. I'd think the tires would hit turning anyway?

1070 was a fwa loader (mid mount pedestal mount)

This is a two wheel drive tractor. There is just not enough
clearance to fully bolster the front end! Some loader tractors
have limiters for the front end if the tractor during loader use
but i see no place to attach them here!
