Corn Head Grease Use

The corn head grass add says for slow speed gears,I don't know how ,but it works great in the u/joint cavity and that sure is not low speed.

as usual Lawrie you are 100 percent correct. You put on more real miles then most of us combined
 
Well thanks for th "corn head" education. I know quite well what a combine is but mainly in the grain realm. I do know you guys down south grow a hell of a lot of corn though.f..
 
You guys remove existing steering box grease prior , or just add JD grease to existing situation ?
Thanks.

I'd just add it if you choose to do so. It's a steering box. You could probably add olive oil if you could keep it in there. It's just a worm gear with small amount of use, certainly no heat related friction. The only heat is from the general local to the exhaust manifolds.


Mixing the oil and the grease will just dilute the grease. They are made of the same compound for the most part. A few will argue but non will say their box didn't work.


Cornhead will be closer to true 190w. Bit of oil in the box is fine.

Tink .....It is AMAZING that you are able to find so much FACTUAL data to substantiate so many of your replies. So....just WHAT is that "same compound" that you speak of? It is almost mind-blowing to comprehend how you are able to accurately determine such a definitive "190w" resultant product from your suggested concoction. DD

DD, your sarcasm is amazing as well. And, you are so consistent with it in your musings. (The devil made me do it.)

Tell me Counselor .....Which would be the nicer way to approach a situation? Long-time member feels need to arbitrarily add comment on legitimate questions asked by members who MAY not have the experience with these old used cars as YOU do (is that sarcastic enough?). Those comments, as often as not, come across as more fantasy bull stuff from some experimental imagination. So, is it nicer to ask for some reasonable challenge to support those comments, or would it just be more appropriate to tell the commenter that I think he's full of it? Whether or not you have noticed, I stay busy on this forum addressing the subjects that I believe I have a little knowledge about, and hope that I may be able to share a little useful info with others, like posting pictures, for instance. BUT......when a subject presents itself for which I have little or nothing to offer, I generally keep my mouth shut. I try very hard not to run my mouth about something just to feel my lips flapping!

Ah...I thought the 'common compound' in both oil and grease was the oil? Grease is, to my understanding, a mixture of oil and soap.
