Can anyone tell me how to properly lubricate the steering mechanism on a JD model 40? I just bought the tractor and know next to nothing about them.

Thanks for the help,
Dave

On those vertical gear boxes, I recommend using JD Corn Head Grease. It won't leak out the oower seal on that ole shaft or box. As far as getting it too full, if your 40 is like my 420, the grease will oose out the vent hole if it is too full.

You have to take the nose off and the steering box will have a plug on the top of it and thats were you add oil. On my M [similiar to the 40] I packed the steering box with that slick 50 grease.

Chris,

Thanks for the reply. Do you just fill it up to the plug? Also, do you just use 90W gear lube or grease, or something else?

Thanks again,
Dave
