Corn head Grease

[Steve Birkes]

I think Jeff-Oh posted a message with pic about Corn Head Grease (?) used in the steering box last year. What I"m wondering is if Corn Head Grease will mix safely with the SAE90 weight grease already in my steering box. The seals are leaking and I read that the thicker Corn Head Grease will possibly slow down the leak. Anyone know if the two will mix OK?

Pour it together in a zip lock bag, mix it up, cut off a corner and squeeze it in.

What would be better is to use some grease with some heavy oil, for this reason:-
Just using corn head grease the moving parts will create cavities in the grease, but adding the oil will run into the cavities and provide some lubrication at all times. If the Box is full, the grease will fill up around the seals and prevent the oil leaking out. This has been used many times for a number of years and this is what most people have written in and told me and I can quite see what they mean....John

They will mix fine. if they do mix together you'll just have a concoction with a thickness between 90wt and corn head grease. Most likely you'll just have areas of cornhead grease and other of oil. It'll be fine.

Alright, this ia arguably the most amazing oil ever. The Gear boxes in our 1408 brush hog leaked 85-140 like a siv. Would have to refil them all the time on a daily basis. Lucas makes a product called hub oil. We put them in the gear boxes last fall and there still full! I wouldnt be so excited if it didnt work so well. Hope you try it, Toby.
