[Healeys] Penrite or John Deere CHG.

Bob, that may be a good point. When I went to the agricultural place for the grease, they suggested that I buy their grease gun. I bought it for its flexible nozzle which is a blessing. Perhaps they sold it so that it wouldn’t “liquefy and leak”. I’ve never thought about its inner workings. It has a pistol-grip pump action so I suppose that’s the only pressure.

Maybe the recipe is to buy the tubes of CHG gloop and use it with a pistol-grip pump. I doubt John Deere actually manufacture the gun although they’ve branded it and jacked the price up accordingly. 

It’s a decent thing, though on the large size, and I use it for pretty well all greasing jobs.

Yes John Deere corn head grease.  I had a steering box that wouldn’t hold much and I wasn’t about to pull the steering column/box out . I’ve done this before but it was on a total rebuild. I filled the box up with this corn head grease , and so far no big leaks . 🤞. Time will tell I’m sure

John Deere Cornhead Grease is what they had made for the cornhead which is an articulated joint out at the end of the combine which is like our steering box.  I used it 4 years ago and not a drop from the steering box so far. Amazon sells it in a cartridge and in tubes.
