Hey,guys,
I have been reading several pieces of advise on here.But need more input. My steering gear box is leaking 90wt around where the steering shaft goes into the box.(NOT where the BIG shaft comes out of the bottom of the bolster.)All of the shafts feel tight in their bearings.but after adding 90wt to bring it up to "full",it is running out of where the shaft from the steering wheel enters the box.my thought is to take it all apart,cleant it,check for wear,replace parts,reseal,and regrease.But,WHAT do i fill it with,90wt,140 wt,pack it with bearing grease???(I keep hearing these storys of them STILL leaking 90 wt AFTER re bushing/re sealing the box.(By the way,this is on my Farmall Super M. It has a factory wide front end.NO power steering,NO front end loader.)
