I am re-assembling the 1939 M Farmall. Have had the bolster laying horizontial for several months. Now that I have it mounted, I took the top plate off the steering gear portion to check for lubricant. The operator manual indicates it should have 1 pt of SAE-90, however what is there appears to be regular alimite grease. Is it possible that the grease from the alimite lower down on the front of the bolster has moved up due to it having been layed down? What action should I take?
Thanks
Harley
 
You will find that the seals will let the 90wt leak out.
What the owner befor you did was just add grease to the gears. Pack it near full and have fun

Not just any grease; John Deere corn-head grease is by far the best in this application. mike
 
I put new seals in mine and a quart of 90 wt and within two weeks it all leaked oout so I just filled it up with grease and no more problems nuff said Henry
