Default Re: Corn Head grease source(s)

It is the same stuff.When I worked at the JD dealer we used it for everything but cornheads.We just didn't have any in my area.We could get it in tubes or squeeze bottles.If you get it in tubes you will need a real tight grease gun,or,take the tube out of your gun and slide the runny grease tube in.What is left of the real grease will help seal the plunger while pumping the juicy stuff out.If the gun is new,worn,or a cheapo the thin grease will start to run out of the hole in the back for the plunger.We used it mostly for steering boxes in the old two cylinders.The Ford tractor boys insist you do NOT use it in the steering boxes in the old two pitman arm boxes.I don't know if that has some factual reason behind it,or if it is one of those forum fairy tales that somebody writes and a hundred others chime in to hear themselves talk.
