Hmmmmm....
Thanks fellas but This is a non power steering unit.
Would you still go with those light weight oils ?
Just double checking.

Right or wrong I use JD Corn Head grease in all the steering boxes on my old tractors.

This gear box has a side exit output shaft to the steering arm, so the lihht weight oils won't migrate out..... I'll probably use one of them.....
Thanks for the feedback.
