In my steering box I mix corn head with gear lube so it will just pour and it has been in steering box for three years and 20 thousand miles and it works great. John Deere formulated corn head grease to cling to the gears and yet be fluid enough to flow back if it is flung away from the gears. I also use it on my U-joint.

As far as I know the only place to get corn head grease is at a John Deere tractor dealer it cost me 4.50 a tube. Try it I think you will be happy!

Definitely go to JD to buy this. They had it specially formulated for old leaky gear boxes.
