Re: Corn Head Grease
Corn head grease comes in two flavors; one for low speed gearboxes and the other for high speed gearboxes. This is according to John Deere literature, but they didn't say what they consider to be high speed or low speed. But neither one is suitable for an A transmission, in my opinion.

Re: Corn Head Grease
Corn head grease in the steering box and around the u-joint. I cannot think of any other place in an old ford. GL4 90 on the trans and GL4 140 in rear end.

Re: Corn Head Grease
O-ring the case in 3 places and it won't leak anymore. 1 at front of cluster shaft hole, 2 in rear inboard of lock pin-- on cluster shaft hole and reverse idler hole.

Re: Corn Head Grease
Depends on your leak or drip, but they all mark their spot. There is a reason there is a cotter pin in the pan.
Would not use it in the trans or diff or anywhere gearoil is present. STP maybe. I have a case of JD Corn Oil, great stuff. Just my opinion. |
