Re: M steering gear? add grease or 90 oil?

I found JD grease box grease. Now what? How much do I put in? Do I fill up gear box to the top with grease to cover steering worm gear? Should I scape out all old grease in gear box as some is really black looking?

Definately take that 40 yr old grease out of there, wouldnt hurt to remove that flat gear, and clean out under that also!

If it has not been done I THINK you can turn the big gear over and it will be snugger since you have a fresh side of teeth engaged.

ok thanks corner post & fast farmall. Do I fill it up to the top with grease?

fastfarmall · May 14, 2016

I am not sure what the book says, but at least up to the top of the worm gear.

I put grease in it

I whipped up my own 50-50 blend of red {RED!} wheel bearing grease and 90 wt. gear oil in a coffee can with my drill and p-o-u-r-e-d it in. Works perfect, stays in place. cheap.

I thought I invented that trick, others said it would separate but it worked perfectly. Ellis

I have did the same thing and was told when I did it that it would not work but it does.

Don't turn the gear over it has tapered splines that only works correct on shaft one way. M didn't come with a full circle gear, but if replaced with one in the past it can be repositioned so unused teeth or teeth with the least wear can be used.
