don g said: (quoted from post at 12:02:09 07/06/08) thanks for the info gene.it looks to me like neither has ever been replaced.One other quick question while i have ya.In your opinion would it be ok to put lucas oil in there instead of gear oil?I really like the cling factor that lucas oil provides and i would think it would cut way down on a leak.Fourth gear is pretty noisy too and i was going to put a quart of lucas in there as well hoping it might cut the noise down a bit.Thanks in advance.

Don: This is another of those "best brand of spark plug" topics, but for my money, the best thing to put into steering boxes today is John Deere corn head grease. It is a very "wet" grease and will lube well and not leave an air pocket like typical grease. It "settles" in between the gears and fills the gaps between the worm and sector gear. Equally as good - it does not leak out like gear lube. I learned about it on a internet site where a fellow rebuilds steering gear boxes for old vintage race Corvettes, Mustangs and Camaros. I have used it for about 5 years now on cars and tractors and could not be more pleased. Whatever you choose, good luck. mike
