Hi All,
More then a year ago, when we first discussed replacement for the leaking steering fluid, I purchased (2) tubes of John Deere Corn Head grease thinking my steering box was leaking. When ready to install the grease, I found the steering box to be full of fluid, leaving me in the dark as to the origin of the film of oil on the bottom of the box. Needless to say, I replaced the cap and put the tubes of grease back on the shelf. However, in an examination last week, I noticed oil on the bottom of my steering box and I am guessing the time to go for the John Deere Corn Head grease in fast approaching.
As I remember, the John Deere grease is in tubes, similar to those for chassis grease, and it may be possible clean out my grease gun and use it to inject the John Deere grease into the steering box. Has any tried this approach? Also, since I am under the impression the John Deere is compatible with steering box fluid and it might be possible to extract most of the fluid with the remaining being displaced by the injection of its grease replacement. Has anyone tried this?
