We had a thread about this quite recently. I was advised to use John =
Deere=E2=80=99s Cornhead Grease. Not that easy to find locally but I did =
get some. Haven=E2=80=99t got round to using it yet as I intend to drain =
the old stuff out first and that, I imagine, will be a messy and slow =
affair.
Anyhow, while I was at the John Deere place, I was recommended their =
=E2=80=9Cspecial??=E2=80=9D grease gun. It=E2=80=99s a decent looking =
well-made item. Importantly, It has a long flexible plastic/rubber =
coated tube on it, about 15=E2=80=9D long. One can take the grease =
nipple adaptor off that and the end will, I guess, fit into the steering =
box filler hole. If not, one can hold it there as the gun has a =
one-handed pump action. I reckon it=E2=80=99ll get the thick goo into =
the box pretty easily. I=E2=80=99ve always found getting the heavy =
liquid oil in there to be an absolute pain in the proverbial.
