Hi Milo,
Thanks for the tip. I have tried the JD corn head grease before. Granted, I didn't clean out every last drop of 90 weight in the steering gear, but nevertheless it started leaking the grease out of the seal area after sometime. I don't think the gear has a crack in the housing, there is very little play in it. The steering gear was bought NOS quite a few moons ago although the truck has not been off-roaded hard since I have had it. Guess it's one of those "They all leak" problems people have with these old military trucks. LOL.
