John Deere corn head grease
I read about JD corn head grease for trains and rear end when I went to the dealer I found the grease in tubes. So how do you put the grease in the trains and rear end or do I have this totally screwed up.

Re: John Deere corn head grease
The corn head grease should be used in the universal joint housing for the u-joint. Not in the rear end, use 600wt. What do trains have to do with Model A's?

Cornhead for the steering box. Warm it up before trying to put in.

Re: John Deere corn head grease
Use JD for both the steering box and the universal.

Re: John Deere corn head grease
The warning to "never put grease in the steering gear" per Ford Service Bulletins and other sources is well published.

Re: John Deere corn head grease
John Deere Corn Head grease is made differently than regular grease, like axle grease. It clings to the gears instead of running off when the gears stop moving. It is a different type of grease that will work in a steering box. I am pretty sure it will work fine in a steering box.

But STP is NOT a lubricant. Sorry. 1930 was a good year - but some things have improved since then. Certain greases being one of them. I have greased corn heads using JD corn-head grease and think one is challenged to correctly call it a grease. I don't think it an emulsion at all (like traditional grease.) Joe K

Re: John Deere corn head grease
I have dedicated grease gun from Harbor Freight loaded with the corn hd tube. Also, a removable pipe plug in the bottom of the steering gear. Pump until it runs out and then check grease fitting at top of casting. Turn steering wheel back and forth to work in grease.The top "zerk" is installed in a brass "adaptor" that fits the stock thread and can be removed by hand to check level. The steering gear takes quite a bit from the tube.

Re: John Deere corn head grease
I understand why many of you have changed to JD grease. The stuff works, and works well.
I pump it into the zerk opening until it comes out. |
