In the April 2013 issue of the AOMCI's "The Antique Outboarder" is an short article about "Corn Head Grease" used primarily on farm equipment, but some use it in their outboard lower units. I am considering using it in a 1960 Merc 400 and I'm wondering if anyone has experience using it in their lower units. I don't want to be the first one to try it! All you corn head grease users speak up and share your experience please!

I found this info, it's interesting stuff and sounds like it actually could work very well in an outboard application. Wonder how it would compare to Lubriplate 105???

Corn Head Grease is a high quality multipurpose,
semi-fluid type grease available in
an NLGI #0 grade. Although primarily
applied in corn head lubrication, this product
can be recommended for many applications
in agriculture, automotive, construction and
industrial environments.

Corn Head Grease is a carefully formulated
lithium 12-hydroxystearate grease with
oxidation, rust and corrosion inhibitors,
extreme pressure (EP) additives for antiwear
and heavy shock loading, and a special
polymer to control oil separation during
storage. The base oil used is a high viscosity
index lubricant which provides excellent
stability under various temperature
conditions.

Corn Head Grease has superior water
tolerance and resists water washout, exhibits
good high temperature capabilities and has
outstanding mechanical stability by retaining
its consistency in hard use.

Cold Temperature Performance: The high
quality base oils used provide excellent cold
temperature performance.
Reduced Oil Separation: The special polymers
reduce the oil separation tendency during
storage and inactivity.

E.P. Performance: The EP additives provide
excellent prevention of wear and the
capability to withstand heavy shock loading.
Resists Water Washout: The soap thickener
provides excellent resistance to water
washout.

Typical Application
Corn Head Grease is recommended where
the equipment manufacturer recommends:
¥ Multipurpose #0 EP grease
¥ Semi Fluid type grease
Typical Customer
¥ Agricultural Equipment Operators &
Shops
¥ Industrial Equipment Operators
Corn Head Grease
Multipurpose Semi-Fluid Grease

AOMCI recommends using Cornhead grease in older NON-SHIFT (direct drive) small hp outboards. If it shifts and has oil drain screws, use gear OIL.
