That greese is called extreme pressure greese ,should work good.I know on the corn heads those gear box's run along time with no trouble.

I'm not familiar with the box on the 140. However I've filled several H and M gearboxes with grease.

I use plain old moly grease purchased in a 5 lb(?)can. I use a putty knife to transfer grease into the gearbox (gearbox cover removed) until it will hold no more, then stick gearbox cover back on. Depending on whether it's an H or an M, and whether the gearbox has a full or the half-moon type wormwheel, I'd guess they take 1-1/2 to 2 lb of grease to fill completely.

Bob: I see where your coming from with the H or M however on SA, 100, 130 and 140 the largest port is 1/2 pipe thread. The only good way is put a large grease zerk in the small drain port, and sit there and wile the hours away pumping. The drain port on those takes the same zerk as rest of tractor. So you just take that top 1/2" plug out and wait for grease to show itself. One does tend to find this a bit boring, and heaven forbid if the Mrs. comes along twice in two consecutive hours and finds you sitting there pumping. Maybe that is what Mitch needs, the Mrs. to catch him. The funny part, if your greasing a combine or some other piece of equipment that takes more than a tube of grease, it doesn't last near as long.

Mitch: I've never looked at John Deere corn head grease, I just use Moly from the farm store. Are those JD tubes of grease as large as regular tubes of grease? I've never had steering box take that much. Stick a small stick in that top port, see how far down that grease is. You've got me baffled on this one. Are you sure you wern't wearing a Farmall hat, and the Deere dealer had half full tubes for Farmalll guys?

yes it is regular sized tubes, well its hard to see how much is in there cause i've drove it since putting it in, so the gears have moved it all around, i can see it near the top but when pumping more in, it doesn't seem to move at all. i have no clue to where it is going, i might try one more tube

I'd try to add more. If you don't see grease leaking past the seals, it must all still be inside the gearcase. That Deere cornhead grease is a good choice for such a gearcase, as it is much thinner than regular old multipurpose grease.
