This does work. Mine leaked a quart of 75/90 an hour. With the grease I put in 6 hours with no change in grease level. Glad I learned about this corn head grease its something else.
DO NOT PUT GREASE IN A GEARBOX! Grease will turn into grinding paste and wear out the gears. Replace the seal and then the oil can be changed when required.
I have a gasket that blew out when the gear box became warm. I am sure corn head grease works well for one year whilst the sun is short and our time is shorter. HOWEVER, as intuition serves, I believe the regular gear oil will keep getting pushed out, and the corn head grease will keep sticky and remain in the box... however, in time all there will be is the corn head grease. Not a viable lubricant for the long term Great for one season only to get you by, but it surely seems prudent to FIX THE LEAK!! keep that hog beauty running, and don't keep the corn in there. just sayin'
Grease will mix with gear oil. In old 4x4 trucks and jeeps with closed knuckle front axles, you would mix gear oil and grease to create a goopy mix and pack that into the axles. Another thing you can try is ATP AT-205. I have had really great luck adding it it to hydraulic systems and engines to significantly slow down leaks. I believe it swells the seals a bit.
Well I have a LS Tractor got the mower deck and backhoe. Well backhoe fell off the tractor ripped the threads right out of the housing. Mower deck alway had a leak from the first day I used it was told it’s normal. Mower hardly got used first year I bought this set up. The second year I didn’t mow from July to November. Fuel pump started smoking with in the first 100 hours. Going to try 00 grease but I doubt it will work I think seals are completely gone. LS Tractors and equipment are junk
How bad is your gearbox as far as it leaking out gear oil? I have an old 7ft pull type that unbeknownst to me must have been leaking for awhile, I thought I was noticing more gear whine than normal and now it’s seizing up but I think with some lubrication it might still go…but I also noticed while running it the past several years every now and then I hear a blade banging against something so that’s telling me the bearing has some play in it. I filled it up and it ran ok then but it slung it out pretty fast. We had an old Allis rotary mower on the farm growing up that my dad put gear oil and gun grease in it both for years and it ran quiet and hardly leaked.

What? No. You need hvy gear oil only.
@@sonsofliberty3081 You just put a little bit of the AT-205 in as an additive.
Great idea. thanks. I will be trying it.
Great informational video!
thank you so much i had that issue for so long
Thanks for the information.
How many tubes of the corn head grease should I use when I don't have a plug hold big enough to see in. Should I fill it until it runs out.
thanks a lot fellows

How many tubes did you initially put in I believe this will fix my same problem

How do chains work for support straps
A new seal is like 10 bucks
