Re: Corn Head Grease Use
I used JD cornhead grease in my fire pump grease fittings and reduced the noise coming from the pump. Also filled the nearly empty steering box with it.

Re: Corn Head Grease Use
I've got it in the 37 Hudson steering box in my deuce pu and it works fine, steers easy and no leaks. Also putting it in all the gear boxes in my center pivot irrigation systems. 24 per pivot to prevent leaks and gear box failure. Dealer says it virtually stops box failure and at 850.00 a piece that's a big deal. Just realized I'm being a little redundant as I said the same in the post on spring grease

Re: Corn Head Grease Use
Silly question I guess, but how do you get the old lubricant out of a steering box to put the new lubricant in?

Think I had a box sent by amazon or ebay. JD Implement is probably cheaper. https://www.amazon.com/John-Deere-Co...ornhead+grease https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...rease&_sacat=0 |

Re: Corn Head Grease Use
Problem is that us kiwis are not allowed to import petroleum based materials. We can't get Marvel mystery oil here, and cannot import it.
At least our gas, whilst still crap, is better than you guys in the States get!!

Re: Corn Head Grease Use
Aussie Merc,
I live close to a wheat growing area, no were close to corn crops, and a John Deere agent down there had two cartridges so I snapped them up. I used one and sold the other to a mate. Like the others have said it works a treat. I can ask my JD agent if they can get some if you like. I only found mine by asking a mobile JD mechanic if he had seen any in his travels and as luck would have it he did. PM me if you need any help. Regards,Gary |

Re: Corn Head Grease Use
Anybody have comments on Cotton Picker Spindle Grease from Tractor Supply?
The Cotton Picker grease was reccomended over the Cord Head Grease for my '37 Hudson steering box. Thanks |

Re: Corn Head Grease Use
What you want to do in situations like this, is drill down a bit into what the Ford specifications for a particular lubricant in a particular application are (or were), the numbers or names change. Most of us are familiar with NLGI #2 chassis grease used in drive shaft zerks and kingpins. Often this is the only grade available at retail outlets. But there are other grades of grease available. A "00" grade or "self leveling" grease is just about perfect for manual steering gearboxes.
Only the names are changed, to protect the innocent, something like that. Marketing and brand names just confuse people, or make them spend 10 times what they need to. |

Re: Corn Head Grease Use
The "OO" liquid grease, right? I have both corn head and the cotton picker spindle grease, so I'm curious if anyone has experimented with the two as well.
