Re: Steering lube- Penrite 1200W
I used the end plate with the tube attached for a supposed fix for leaking. After installing the tube/end plate, the steering box still dropped to much. I was about ready to put John Deere corn-head grease in the 7 sector box. However I decided to try one more fix before the corn-head grease after several attempts with Permatex on the small bolts on the bottom to stop the dropping. I got some heavy cotton thread from my wife's sowing basket and wrapped 12 or 15 rounds of thread just under the bolt heads. No leaks since.

Roger, I use the "corn head" in the U joint also but didn't consider the steering gear box. Has that worked well for you? Any special way you filled the box with the corn head?

Re: Steering lube- Penrite 1200W
Has anyone ever considered '00' grease? I buy mine from TSC (tractor supply). It is super S brand which I believe is Smittys. It is also known as cotton picker spindle grease. It is a little thinner than corn head grease. I put it in my leaky steering box, and no leaks yet. I am going to put it into my u joint also. I became familiar with it as a Snapper OPE dealer. Snapper uses it in all their standard gearboxes, including chain cases, and worm gear snowblower cases, etc, etc. Shoot, it might be good in the A transmissions.
