Switching to grease is a "trick" done when a seal blows and you still want to use the equipment. Not the choice of a purist as the seals should be fixed. But, on old equipment some seals are hard to find, expensive or both. Old Ford steering gear boxes are ones that wind up with grease often for that reason. Corn head grease is one of the ones used.
