What about CV joint grease used in the axle joints of front wheel drive modern cars? It both flows and is extremely "clingy". To me, it is a lot like the John Deere "cornhead grease" and a lot easier to find. By the way, John Deere makes a grease for low speed gearboxes and another for high speed gear boxes. We want the low speed variety for steering boxes.
