[Healeys] Steering Box and Wire Wheel Questions--BJ8

[glemon at neb.rr.com]

Penrite steering box lube should stop the leak or slow it considerably if not completely.  I have read about corn head grease, which sounds like similar stuff, but despite being in Nebraska I have more LBC knowledge than tractor so it was easier for me to find a source for the penrite.  I used it on my 100 after I put on a new seal.  Leak went away.
