Why then, is John Deere Corn Head grease the nearly universally recommended product on this forum?
Not only on this forum but all the truck and car forums.
The only thing I can think of, is JD grease is widely available self-leveling grease. The misconception of “ As it gets warmer it becomes more like oil”. (The grease become more oil like when subjected to agitation or shear stress, not heat). You can buy one tube at a time. With regular #0 grease, it’s harder to find a seller that will sell one tube, most times you have to buy a case (10 tubes ).
Jim, can I infer that the NLGI 00 grease can be mixed with other types of grease? That is, if the unit is not rebuilt but just needs a top off or a refill after draining, the NLGI #00 grease be used?
Manufactures recommend you do not mix grades of grease or oil.
