The Ford Barn - View Single Post - U-Joint Prepacking

The corn head grease is viscosity 0 based on urea ...just like the Chevron Multifak EP 0. I am trying Chevron Multifak EP 00 lithium based. The cornhead is not fluid until motion occurs so I am concerned about the "U" joint...that is a cavity forms around the spinning U joint. EP00 stays fluild all the time and if it does not leak out of the ball and socket (felt/corkseal) I think the thinner material is better....but I have not run the assembled ball and socket BUT I have packed the shaft bearing and speedo gear...holding great and does not drip(i have the torque tubeo pen and laying downward)the Multifax is waterproof ... avery modern long wear grease specific for bearings etc.

PS do not mix greases of different bases... that is do not mix urea with lithium etc.
