I just used the usual chassis grease. I was not sure whether or not the pump was greased when built, so I did grease it when I installed it. Some grease did come out the shaft hole when I first started the tractor. But, I then removed the pump and shaft, when I removed the shaft it did not appear overgreased. I am aware of possible contamination of the cooling system by over-greasing, but I don't think I did that. I don't think greasing has much effect on leakage (I can be corrected) unless so much gets in there it pushes the packing out. I'm sure the H I drove in the 50's was over-greased but it never leaked. The antifreeze that leaks out does not appear to be contaminated.
