My neighbor has a Massey 232 with front loader. When he turns, the rear tires dig up large chunks of turf. Is there possibly something not right in the differential to not allow any slippage? It is like the rear axle is solid all the way thru. Thanks for any helpful ideas!

Correction*** I mean to the right of the drivers seat and below is were the differential lock pedal is located if you are sitting on the seat, not the left side unless you are standing in front of the tractor.

Sounds like the differential lock is engaged if it has one on it. The pedal should be located to the left of the seat and directly below on the footrest. If it is engaged one sign besides digging up dirt is it will not want to turn very sharp at all but more or less scoot the front tires in the direction you are trying to turn forcing the tractor to eventually turn. A good way of seeing if it is engaged is jack up the right rear wheel with transmission in neutral and see if you can turn the rear tire around and around. If will not turn it is most likely because the pedal is locked in and needs to be lubricated. Just simply spray the linkage down with some good penetrating oil and try to work the pedal back up that is if nothing else is wrong. When everything is working properly the pedal sound disengage on its own when traction has been recovered but allot of them on old tractors need the pedal pulled back up by hand to disengage because of lack of lubrication over the years which is all most need to fix this problem.

I don't know about the 232, but my MF-35 has a differential lock pedal on the right side, towards the rear of the foot rest. I have used it when one wheel was spinning while I was stuck in a creek bed. It doesn't spring back, it remains in the locked position until I pull it back up to the normal position with my hand.
