Today I've been using the Penrite even though it's a bit pricy.
I've done slump testing on a bunch of lubricants including the
JD corn head grease, which is about the same consistency as the
Penrite.

And as per the link that Tiny posted, it's available on line.
Lots of choices, just don't make the mistake of shooting chassis
grease in there.

And the sites screwed up so I can't edit my replies
anymore or post hyper links!!!!!!!!!
The gear oil is what the bulletins say to use. If it leaks out you have a sealing problem. I was told by a steering gear rebuild place to use gear oil, as it has to flow good enough to lube the recirculating balls. Grease will not flow into small areas unless its very hot. Also why is this thread in the engine section?

Kicking self for selling off my Taskforce trucks.
Still looking for an LCF or conventional big bolt in decent shape.
