Are you sure the MF 175 doesn't have power steering? I thought 165's all came with power steering but looking in my book, it lists it as optional for UK model 165's but standard on the UK 175. These are the brochures for the launch of the tractors in 64/65. The 1970 N.America brochure also lists it as standard on the 175. If the 175 is a diesel, it is a very popular engine. The Perkins engines in the MF 100 series tractors are second to none. They set fuel economy records that are still comparable with todays newer high tech engines. It is not dangerous if you don't have power steering. The tractors still come with a good steering system. If you're going to be using the loader a lot and in close quarters, you'd want power steering but for general use it isn't absolutely necessary. I don't have power steering on my 135 and it's a little harder to steer but I don't use the loader much. I have a fairly heavy 7 ft. blade on it though. If the 175 is in good shape, I'd go for that. MF parts are usually pretty reasonable. Dave
