There are a couple of greases that I have heard are similar to JD Cornhead grease. One is a pourable grease product made by Valvoline that is sold outside this country for lubing track vehicles. The other is sold by a company in England-I think that's the one you're trying to remember, Denny Graham, and I can't remember the name of it either. I believe it is for the old steering boxes on MGs. I think we can all agree that chasis lube of any kind is a bad idea as it will not flow. I also think that most of us who have these old steering boxes can testify to the fact that no matter how well rebuilt it is, you are going to leak out gear oils, whether they be 80W, 90W, or 120W. It seems to me that this is to be expected, as by all accounts, the original lubricant used in these steering boxes was a pourable grease not a heavy oil.

I finally got a couple of tubes of Cornhead Greese last year when I was visiting my mom in Idaho. I got them at a JD dealership in Eastern Washington on my way home (little side detour to other relatives in Spokane). The JD dealerships in Northern California had never even heard of it.
