    2 Guns stay on my drilling rig and one stays at home. I can't tell you how many brands I have tried and how many I have taken back to the store. I have realized they all suck and its a roll of the dice when you buy one. I will literally buy 2 or 3 guns at once because I know at least 1 isn't...

    For the record, most grease guns made now days suck so bad. I have 3 grease guns you couldn't buy from me if you tried cause the darn things actually work.

    Just be sure whatever you use has an EP-additive in it. Which I believe the JD corn head has.

    Pull the axle vent. I believe the threads are 3/8 npt. Get a barbed fitting and screw into hole. Then get some kind of tubing (I like DOT air brake line) and route vent to where ever you want it.

    I think ams oil makes a couple different varieties of flowable grease. Call or email them and see what they say their greases can handle. Also, you can swing by your nearest John Deere tractor dealership and ask them what the corn head grease can handle.

    I'm going to guess that it is the seal around the shaft that protrudes through the frame that is leaking. The correct way to repair it would be to get a new seal and install it. Not an easy thing to do. Another thing I have heard mentioned is some members have replaced the gear oil with John...

    I believe they do on the underside of the IP. Also check the steering box itself. They can leak pretty bad. My truck has oil running down the frame from the steering box. Not a big deal for me since I will be replacing it with M-35 toms power steering kit.

    Get some degreaser or brake cleaner, something, and clean everything up good. That will make the leak easier to pin point. Also check the oil lines under the IP. If one of those goes on you its bad news real fast.

    Is the puddle directly under that spot? Also I have experience with medium duty trucks with gas engines. Unless you plan on putting a blower on that 460 don't expect to be impressed with the power in such a heavy truck. On a positive note a v-8 is shorter than a I-6 so that frees up space for...

    Your HH isn't leaking. Its the fuel shut off and that little cover just below it are leaking. Mine seeps oil in those same places. Don't loose sleep over it until its a steady drip.

    Sorry that's my fault for not stating it correctly. I like the auber instruments (auberins.com) unit. Yes it is digital.

    I like the aubriens (forgive me if I misspelled it) unit. It is available in 24v so no need to convert power. Also I believe you will surprised at the power increase from turning the fuel up.
