Gene,

I am going to try it with the gear oil first but if that dont work I am going to use the grease I think. I have replaced seals and gaskets until I am blue in the face.

I did find the breather hole in the plug. I had sand blasted that thing and painted it and looked for that hole two times. The hole and down in the plug was full of dirt, guess it had been there for forty years or more.

When I started draining the fluid out of the steering box first there was what looked like water then thick oil (like baby poop), then gummy clumps of gook. I am going to put the plugs back in and fill it with 30wt oil than drain it again just to get some of the old stuff out. I'll fill it again with the gear oil after that and see if it leaks.

I went to the old IH place and the guy there said they use to fill it with grease then top it off with gear oil.

I called a few places here but cant find that Cornhead Grease. The Case dealer had heard of it but didnt know where to find it either.
