John Deere Corn head Grease

Will it maintain lube properties under extreme pressure? Just because a product feels ''slick'' does not insure it will maintain an adequate film to prevent galling and surface failure. I would tread very carefully in this area....
 
One may wonder though if "what Ford used" was based only on what was available at the time or determined that it was the very best product by some other method. A lot of changes and improvements have happened over time to virtually anything that Ford had available at the time. They types of oil, oil additives and the gasoline quality could all be examples, couldn't they?

Materials yes but the engineering is the same in this case i.e. a grease with NGLI 1 for the universal joints
 
Regular multipurpose grease is NLGI 2 -"Normal". Corn head is NGLI 0 -"Very Soft". Ford used a grease equating to NGLI 1 -"Soft" in the universal joint.

50% Normal plus 50% Very Soft = 100% Soft What could possibly go wrong??
 
All in all I think this was a worth while Thread. I enjoyed Talking about the grease, I was very on the Fence so to say, I needed feedback and I got it!!! Thank everyone for your input!! I enjoy the Barn a lot!!:D
