I've been trying to find the Penrite Steering Box lube but all of the suppliers I've found on line are out of stock and don't know when they will be getting more. Classic Auto Lube is closing down and has no more.
Anyone have a source? or a relative in the U.K or Australia that can send us some? | | | | | Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 887 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 887 | I've heard John Deere Cornhead lube is an alternate to Penrite that is readily available at your local tractor supply- Check your yellow-pages.

FYI they are working out details on a distributorship with a company in Escondido CA (Restoration Supply Company) and the representative will let me know when they anticipate having product.
In the interim, hopefully mozzie can locate some for me. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 236 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 236 | Originally posted by NM51:

That depends on where you are located in this big big country.  None of the John Deere sales and service centers in Northern California have even heard of it, not even in the farming country over here on the left coast. It is listed on the John Deere website, but they don't retail it. Believe me, I've looked for it locally and called around to places that i knew I would be passing through while travelling.

The grease is green in color, how appropriate since it comes from John Deere
