Ford 8N Steering Gearbox 80w90 oil, #2, 0, or 00 grease ?
A video talking about different types of lubricants people use in their Ford 8N steering gearboxes. This video gives an explanation on the various options, and a small experiment of each type. I hope you enjoy!

I drilled and tapped my fill plug and added a zerk fitting, then used a air powered aro grease pump and pressure filled the steering box steering box in my '77 Ford 1600 that was leaking out of the shaft seal because the bushing was worn from carrying heavy loads with my loader and trying to steer with mystic g6 industrial waterproof grease that is so slick it's beyond slick, to the point it came out of the top of the steering shaft under the steering wheel, now id say that's pretty full! It's still a little hard to steer but always has been and takes a lot of force and about all you got when you have 1000lbs or more on the loader. But it doesn't leak and id say that packed full it's probably not shoving anything off. And it has a consistency of just a hare more thickness of the corn head and super super tacky. Made for excavators and heavy equipment joints to keep out moisture and stay connected to joints. It's synthetic, and a bit expensive, a 5 gallon bucket for my aro pump was $280 but it will last and I have a lot of equipment.
Very interesting, thanks for the comparisons.
Very good video, keep it up....
Thanks! Well done sir !
"00" grease is semi-liquid and used in many snowblower gearboxes (auger differential).

Dead center in the bottom! Each container was drilled right in the center. Thank you for watching : )
You kept saying "single something" about the corn head, what was that word, please?

NGLI 0 or NGLI 00 grease. Typical bearing grease that you find everywhere is NGLI 2 and is too thick.
How water soluble is the cornhead grease?

I’m not sure exactly on that spec. I do know it does not readily mix with water.
