I have a 1956 Super 55. The manual steering box has 140 gear oil in it. Their is a small leak around the steering arm. Is their any reason I can't shoot grease in on top of the oil in the steering box?

Larry from Maryland has it right. Here is what it says in the shop manual.

The first tractors built with Saginaw gears were filled with 90 gear lubricant. Continue using the 90 gear lubricant until such time as the stering gear is disassembled and cleaned. Then refill with No.1 multipurpose grease. Super 55 and 550 steering gears without the pipe plug on the front of the gear were originally filled with 90 gear lubricant. When the change was made to using No.1 multi-purpose grease, the plug was added to the front of the gear housing to facilitate filling the unit.

Yes use grease,the owners manuel says oil,but the service manuel say calceum or lithum grease.One of the bolt holes that holds the steering arms in is usualy drilled into the case so just insert your grease gun pipe and pump it in.After you let the oil out.

It should work fine as long as the seals are still halfway ok.My favorite is Deere corn head grease,it flows some and stays in great,and its made to work in gearboxes.
