I have tried different gear lubes,synthetic lube mixed with synthetic grease from advice years ago in Dick Flynns column. Nothing really stayed in there but for some reason STP does and I have been using it successfully in my 37 steering box. Went to check it this spring and was surprised it did not need topped off.

I have been using John Deere Corn Head Grease in my '35 steering boxes since 2013. This works great for me. Little or no leaking with improved/easier steering. Prior to JDCHG, I tried every type of oil imaginable and they all leaked out. Granted my steering box needs new seals/gaskets, but by using the JD grease, I can put that job off until some major repair is necessary, i.e. removing the engine for rebuild. John

For years I've used STP in my steering boxes. The I read about John Deere Corn Head Grease. Last fall on the AACA Sentimental Tour in New Hampshire I saw a John Deere Dealer and bought two tubes of Corn Head Grease. While the STP would leak some when real hot, I'm hoping the JD product works a well as I've heard on this Forum. 1934 Ford's since 1972

I have used STP and/or a "Motor Honey" engine oil additive in manual steering gear boxes for over fifty years, works great with very little evidence of leakage.. Bill 36 5 win delx cpe
