Re: John Deer Corn grease --- ugh
As background, if anyone cares. . . Harvesters have interchangeable "heads" for harvesting different crops. The heads are large bulky affairs which are detached from the base machine to allow for moving the machine from point to point on public roads. One of the available heads is for harvesting corn hence a "corn head". FWIW

Re: John Deer Corn grease --- ugh
This is a corn head. It is used to harvest corn. Mounts to the front of a combine.

Re: John Deer Corn grease --- ugh
You can also use this. I have used it with great results. It is thick as molasses in January but as things heat up it flows. When I mean heat up I don't mean from 20 degrees to 90 degrees. I mean in a machine where there is lots of friction. SO, it will stay thick enough in your gearbox to not leak out. Unless your V8 is on fire of course, then it would leak out.
Your thinking "Hey Seth, if it's so thick in the bottle how do I pour it out you dummy?" Answer: You warm the bottle up enough until it flows slowly, use a funnel and fill your gear box. Put plug back in gear box, put lid on bottle, steer your V8 with ease. If you find this leaking from your gearbox, then your gearbox is junk and in need of service.

Re: John Deer Corn grease --- ugh
I didn't mean to sound critical Seth. I wasn't. I just thought it interesting that the two are both lubricants but viscosity reacted to shear in opposite ways.
Thanks for posting about the Multi-Luber, I learned something. |

Re: John Deer Corn grease --- ugh
You donīt need cornhead grease from deere if itīs hard to source locally...what you need is NLGI00 can be bought from other suppliers...we donīt grow much corn here in sweden...i use another brand NLGI00 with teflon in it works great.

Re: John Deer Corn grease --- ugh
Most if not all major grease manufacturers offer nlgi 0. If you see cotton instead of corn along side the road, you can see your local ag dealer and ask for cotton picker spindle grease. Any major ag manufacturer will have their own brand of grease. Nothing magical or exclusive about "John Deere" brand.

Re: John Deer Corn grease --- ugh
Modern front wheel drive cars use much the same grease in front drive axle CV joints. Take apart a high mileage one, and that grease is still coating every part of the joint. Even after a boot rips open, they stay greasy for a long time! Buy the stuff at any parts house.

Re: John Deer Corn grease --- ugh
Here in Canada it looks like Co-op Flow Rite is rated at NLG 00.

Quote:
"The NLGI consistency number, sometimes referred to as NLGI grade, refers to the relative hardness of a grease used for lubrication as specified by the institute's standards. NLGI 00 grade grease has a semi-fluid consistency similar to applesauce. Grease consistency is a major contributor (in combination with additive technology, base fluids, and types of thickeners) to the performance of a grease and how well it will execute lubrication tasks in specific applications. NLGI consistency numbers do not provide enough information to determine whether a specific grease is applicable to any given undertaking - instead, these numbers should serve as a general guideline and should be taken in consideration with the structural and mechanical stability, viscosity, and specific additive technology of an exact grease." "Corn Head Grease is a high quality multi-purpose, semi-fluid type grease available in an NLGI #0 grade. Although primarily applied in corn head lubrication, this product can be recommended for many applications in agriculture, automotive, construction and industrial environments. Corn Head Grease is a carefully formulated lithium 12-hydroxystearate grease with oxidation, rust and corrosion inhibitors, extreme pressure (EP) additives for antiwear and heavy shock loading, and a special polymer to control oil separation during storage. The base oil used is a high viscosity index lubricant which provides excellent stability under various temperature conditions. Corn Head Grease has superior water tolerance and resists water washout, exhibits good high temperature capabilities and has outstanding mechanical stability by retaining its consistency in hard use." Believe you would need to know more about a grease than just it's NGLI rating. |
