white Grease
How would a good white grease work in your steering box?

Re: white Grease
It won't work in mine, or, any other Model A box as far as I'm concerned.

Re: white Grease
I use cotton picker spindle grease,it is $5.per quart at tractor supply.It carries an 00 designation,and if you look at the specs for Penrite it seems to have most of the same ones.It's actually used in a lot of high pressure applications.The pressures between the gears in an A steering box are kind of wimpy compared what farm machinery components go through.I haven't read the bottle in a while,but I seem to remember it lists it's usage for corn heads too.

Re: white Grease
It's the attachment on the front of a combine for harvesting corn. It snaps the ears off the stalks and carries them into the combine where the kernels are shelled off the cobs. When harvesting wheat or other small grain, a "grain head" is attached to the combine.

Re: white Grease
I use a little STP in the box to help things slide.

Re: white Grease
I use 50% stp and 50% John Deere corn head grease (available at your local J D store for about $4 a tube) in my transmission and rear end and straight corn head grease in the steering box. Also use it in my 6' rotary mower gearbox and anywhere 90+ weight would go. Its very slippery and this stuff doesn't leak out .

Re: white Grease
I would suggest what Ford used, namely 600W.
