Corn Head grease in gearbox

[Aggie66]

I’ve repaired the gearbox drive failed bearings on my 80 inch tiller and will be replacing the 90 weight gear oil with corn head grease as has been recommended and that’s what I’m going to do. I have two tubes of John Deere corn head grease to fill the gearbox. I’m looking for a suggestions on how much to put into the gearbox, should some 90 weight oil be added as well, and the best suggested method of getting the grease into the gearbox through the oil fill hole. I could figure it out on my own, but I know someone has already done it and has a Good method of putting the grease in and how much. Thanks for the help.

Assuming its the same product as pourable cotton picker grease/spindle grease, dont mix or cut it with gear oil. Fill to the fill point, and call it good.

I tried to post a response to your question but got censored so I deleted the post. No idea what the trigger was.
