Re: penrite lube
It is mentioned in these two threads that the Penrite is 00 grease. I picked up some 00 grease at Tractor Supply for $5 and am pleased so far. This could be a cheaper alternative to the Penrite.

Re: penrite lube
I use John Deere corn head grease. About $4.50 a tube where I live in Illinois.
Works great. |

Re: penrite lube
Lube from tractor supply is exact same stuff as Pennritw at 1/4 the price.

Re: penrite lube
It can't be very thick if it comes in a bottle with a neck like that. I'm sure the Penrite steering box lube I use is thicker than that would be.

Re: penrite lube
John, not to hi-jack your thread however just to keep muddy waters stirred up a bit, HERE is some of my thoughts on the subject of grease in a steering gearbox. Maybe y'all will agree or disagree??

Re: penrite lube
Is it just terminology?
I think of "lube" like 600w oil and "grease" like I use in a grease gun. Does Penrite make both? |

It is NOT. It is the same because I have both in the shop

Re: penrite lube
Must take a long time to get it out of the bottle, especially in cold weather.

Re: penrite lube
I think many folks do like I do and heat it up via a pot of hot water before filling.

Re: penrite lube
May I ask, why do we even think we need to change the lube from the 600W to begin with?
