Corn Head Grease
Bob Muller, Delanson, N.Y.: “A lot of people don’t know about Corn Head Grease, otherwise called thixotropic grease. That means it acts like grease at rest so it won’t leak out but becomes fluid when agitated. It won’t repair a leaky seal but it can’t be beat as a backup solution until you make a repair. Deere has a great video online (just search ‘Deere’ and ‘corn head grease’ on YouTube). They use it in many of their heavy ag equipment gearboxes and it’s often found in heavy-duty rotary mower gearboxes and garden tractors. I know people who use it in winch gearboxes, steering gearboxes, differentials and more. It works best in warm weather because in cold weather it takes more motion to fluidize it.
