what is the best type of grease to use on a torque tube type u-joint in a 47 ford. Would a thin high temp grease be best. Also how much grease Thanks

I have been using grease made for modern CV-joints, for 20 years, with no problems....Ed

Bill: There was a thread a short while ago about using John Deere Corn Head Grease. Here's the link-

This was also discussed on the old Barn and I think the amount was something like a cup? Half a cup? This had come out of an old Ford publication where they gave a recipe for a "witches brew" for the grease. I think the only thing missing was eye of a bat.

It has been discussed on the Old Barn about using John Deere Corn Head grease. I have found this to be a good grease that will keep from slinging off and staying on the outer sides of the U-joint housing. It is sticky and thick but will flow enough to keep the joint lubricated and still resist leaking out.
