John - If your H steers hard the problem is something other than the steering box lube. (Even with the steering box filled with grease an H should steer easy...I've had heavy grease in mine for years.)

Suspect instead an improperly installed or worn out bolster shaft thrust bearing. Try jacking the tractor under the clutch housing. If the bolster shaft drops more than about 1/8" as the front wheels come up and the steering now turns easy, the thrust bearing is the likely culprit. However if the steering is still stiff, could be a dry lower bolster shaft bushing or possibly a bent bolster shaft.
