I highly recomend John Deere Corn Head grease. It's made for slow moving worm gears such as those found on corn harvesters. It should be at your local John Deere dealer0

If that “grease” is actually the consistency of a very thick oil you are good to go.

STEERING BOX GREASE Semi-FluidThis works great and is easy to pump into the gear box.

I've always used the steering gear box lube from the Studebaker Drivers Club:

I noticed that the 1950 Hudson Owner Manual and 1952 Mechanical Procedures manual recommends using S.A.E. 90 E.P. gear oil in the steering gear housing (I use a synthetic 90 gear oil). Is steering box grease superior to 90 E.P. gear oil as a lubricant?0
