On the 52 Mercury. I finally got the JD corn head grease for the steering box. Got that done and now I"m wondering, if the grease works so well in a steering box, why not in a differential? I know this one needs work as the oil leaks out around the input shaft whenever I fill it up. Hoping to look into it this winter during the off season when I can see what all it needs. Hopefully a bearing and seal will do it. But in the meantime, just for a few short trips maybe the JD corn head grease would work well in the diff?
