John Deere Corn Head Grease is the way to go if you have a bad seal or other problems which cause the specified SAE 90 Gear Oil to leak out. I used this on a 1953 Ford which had a massive oil leak past the seal on the bottom of the steering gear box. I put in the corn head grease and the problem was solved, no more leak and I didn't have to remove the steering box to replace the seal. This John Deere product is part no. AN102562. It comes in a 14 oz tube that you can put in a standard sized grease gun. It is available from John Deere for a little over $7.00 a tube or about 3 times that much if you buy it from Walmart or even more if bought from other vendors. https://shop.deere.com/us/product/AN102562%3A-Special-Purpose-Corn-Head-Grease%2C-397-gram--14-Oz--Cartridge/p/AN102562

I agree with the others who have previously responded. John Deere cornhead grease. I had modified an extra filler plug by installing a grease fitting to it. I place the modified plug in the gear box temporarily, fill the box and replace that plug with the stock one. By doing this, I know the gear cavity is packed fully. Mike "Kube" Kubarth
