  Charlie, add some oil + generic stp along with the grease, or JD 
cornheader grease along with the grease. I also like to use outboard bottom 
end lube unless it means a trip to town, then i just go with stp + oil. That 
will save the bearings + gears from galling if the grease all gets slung 
into the interior of the case.
Also I like to feel the caseing - gearbox after a bit of running for 
excessive heat buildup. And if hot add more stp oil mix. It works on our new 
equiptment the best  LOL
