I was advised to use John Deere’s Cornhead Grease. Not that easy to find locally but I did get some. Haven’t got round to using it yet as I intend to drain the old stuff out first and that, I imagine, will be a messy and slow affair.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Anyhow, while I was at the John Deere place, I was recommended their “special??” grease gun. It’s a decent looking well-made item. Importantly, It has a long flexible plastic/rubber coated tube on it, about 15” long. One can take the grease nipple adaptor off that and the end will, I guess, fit into the steering box filler hole. If not, one can hold it there as the gun has a one-handed pump action. I reckon it’ll get the thick goo into the box pretty easily. I’ve always found getting the heavy liquid oil in there to be an absolute pain in the proverbial.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Simon<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0cm 0cm 0cm'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> Healeys [mailto:healeys-bounces@autox.team.net] <b>On Behalf Of </b>HealeyRick<br><b>Sent:</b> 04 September 2016 02:34<br><b>To:</b> Mike<br><b>Cc:</b> Healey List<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Healeys] Steering box<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>Moss sells Penrite steering box lube: <a href="http://www.mossmotors.com/Shop/ViewProducts.aspx?PlateIndexID=69695">http://www.mossmotors.com/Shop/ViewProducts.aspx?PlateIndexID=69695</a> Others use John Deere cornhead grease: <a href="http://www.greenpartstore.com/John-Deere-Special-Purpose-Corn-Head-Gun-Grease-AN102562.html">http://www.greenpartstore.com/John-Deere-Special-Purpose-Corn-Head-Gun-Grease-AN102562.html</a> I've used Penrite and it's fine.
