Mitch: The idea is get the steering box full of grease, thus when you add grease it must go to the worm, gear and bearings. The grease is heavy enough that moving parts will just make a trail through it, thus no lubrication would get to the crucial points. Cold weather will have some effect on this, but up here even with sub zero weather steering never gets stiff. In fact when I started doing this with my Super A, at around 0 F the steering would freeze solid from condensation in the steering box. Now the tractor steers fine winter and summer and I don't have that mess of oil all over the front casting and axle, from the steering box leaking. I suspect it was not all condensation, probably some water following the steering shaft and going by that seal.
