steering box - oil or grease?

crecca · Sep 29, 2012

morning
I'm rebuilding 8n early type steering box, manual says oil in box. Someone had put a Zerk in the fill plug on mine and used grease.
Any wisdom appreciated.

Grease does not leak out like oil. I got grease in one and oil in the other. If i ever need to take apart the one with oil, I will change it over to grease and never worry about leaking again.
