I was chatting with a buddy the other day and he mentioned that a 'new' grease exists called SNAPPER GREASE. I looked it up but dont find much info on anyone using it and the results. Has anyone used 00 grease (AKA Stens 00 Grease) before and what are your thoughts? I was thinking of using it in my steering box.
It ain't new ! Visit your local farm tractor dealer/supply and ask for "picker head or cornpicker head " grease. It is a flowable grease that works geat in older leaky steering boxes ,stays where it's needed, doesn't chanel like chassis grease.
Here's a link to check it out for yourself. I bought a tube for my steering box but haven't added any yet. https://jdparts.deere.com/partsmkt/...alMultiPurpose.htm#_Special-purpose_corn_head Scroll down the page a ways...you'll find it.
Yep use it as said here 2 yrs agohttp://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=438826&highlight=steering+box
What are you planning to use it in? It's great for manual steering gears, but a bit thin for chassis or wheel bearing use. #2 is the most common grease.
Your local John Deere dealer or petroluem distributer will have it as corn head grese, the local parts house guys will look at you with a dumb look.
I'm reading into #2 grease as what I know. Look at the label closely. EP-2 or NGLI #2 rating. Pick hi-temp type for universal joint usage and overkill in hotrod wheel bearing grease applications. It's standard for semi truck usage and more. Load and heat generated. I like red label Mystic JT-6 Hi-Temp a lot. Other manufacturers produce products that will do the same job.
