Hi, I have a Massey Ferguson T E D 35. I am renewing the oil seals in the steering box and found the box full of grease.The repair manual for the tractor says it has oil in the steering box. What do l put back in the steering box grease or oil? My tractor is painted all grey like the te-20, is this right colour or should it have a red bonnet and wheel guards?

Not sure what a T E D 35 is either, but to my understanding, all the old Masseys used 90w in their steering boxes, and the seals going out was very common. Can't comment on the paint.

It was fairly common for many of the older tractor steering boxes to be filled with grease if they started leaking. I believe some of the Fords actually switched to grease after they discovered that it didn't take them long to start leaking like a sieve.

We put the same product in the steering boxes in restored cars - it's called "Liquid Grease" and was developed for exactly that purpose. It will lubricate the steering gear quite adequately .... but it is too thick to leak out!
