I used Cornhead grease in my universal joint but only because it , the universal joint, has no "Yellow metal". I don't know where the cornhead sits on the GL scale. GL (Gear lube) To the best of my knowledge, is a scale from 1 to 5 that gear lubes are rated on. GL1 is the earliest (and most primitive) forms of grease. GL1 also has no sulphur content. The sulphur content will wipe out bronze bushings (Yellow metals) So where is the cornhead grease on this scale? Unless you've replaced the sector shaft bushings with needle bearings, I'd be very nervous about using cornhead grease in the steering box. For more info, check "Yesterday's Tractors" sub section Ford 8N.
