Danuser post hole digger

Our 3 pt post hole digger gets used maybe once or twice a year, having difficulty keeping oil in gear box, keeps seeping out of PTO seal. Have replaced seal twice over the last 5 years or so.
Have read on here corn head grease is a good solution, think that would work in this application?
 
Should work fine. Ive filled leaky gear boxes with regular grease, havent come across corn head or 00 grease.
 
Corn head grease will work fine.
Wish I had a nickle for every hole I bored with a Danuser digger when I was a kid.

If it is a F8 model they never did use oil for lube, they always had corn head type grease for lube,, I cant count the number of people who have no clue on this and added oil to them and then oh my it leaks,, the G20-40 uses oil as do all that followed but the F8 the big model made for over 50 years uses corn head grease, first sold them in the 60's through the mid 2000's
 
I believe this is evidence that ya'll have WAY too much time on your hands.
This exchange proves this crowd still has a sense of humor and it GREAT!!!
Thanks Guys!!!

see it sold as 00 or "snapper lawn mower gear box grease" in some of the box stores... in plastic quart bottles.

Just posted a pic of the quart of 00 grease that I got at Tractor Supply. It was not with the other lubricants for some reason but was near the bins of three point pins. Your store may vary.
 
(quoted from post at 11:14:01 08/15/20) Just googled it Walmart of all places sells John Deere corn head grease----at a higher price than the JD dealership.

Walmart $17.56 & free shipping for two tubes
Amazon $15.28 & free shipping for a case of ten
Both being sold by the same "SNPartners" via those two websites.

Which one ya gonna buy? Lol.
 
I did the same on an old woods mower gear box. I don't use the mower that much, and it seams to work fine. Stan
 
You must have learned to do that from Bud Humphrey of Humphrey Implement in Kiowa Kansas; he would trade for anything and bought a dry oil well for that purpose.
