I have a non power steering Super 55, I want to re/re the steering box oil. Man thats an awkward spot. I only see a check plug for fill level, no bottom drain. How do you guys change that oil to loose any water and crud? Some kind of a suction flexible tube? I live in a cold winter climate so I dont want any ice in there. I have never touched it in 5 years.

One of the lower bolts that hold the side pieces on should be drilled through into the case. If its not go ahead and do it yourself. Take the tip off a grease gun and pump it full of JD cornhead grease.

I love using JD corn head grease for gearboxes that seep. However do you use yours during the winter? Does is get thin enough to steer the tractor at least half way decently? I've got a loader on my 55 and I use it a lot to clear snow.

The cornhead grease does NOT get stiff in the cold it is made to be a flowable grease. I do use the s55 in the winter.

Thanks guys. I like that. I will search for a drilled bolt. Suspect that it will have some kind of a pipe plug then tapped in it. Hope anyway. If not, I can see what you mean do make this. I will remove a blot, drain it, and and trap a grease zirk in it. Then pump it up with grease to the filler hole.

I agree, replace with grease not oil. I used some pretty thick stuff and it still weeps a bit. Just too much work to take it apart again for such a minor issue. Grease would have been a much better solution. I had the top off mine and replace bearings etc so getting the more water than oil out was done with a rag. Drilling the side is a great solution unless you have a bearing issue.
