Herb, now days there are all kinds of grease.  Look for some that is kind of 
runny.  The first 2 tubes I put in mine were too stiff and the gear set 
slung it all up against the side of the housing where it seemed to just 
stick.  I knew it was too stiff when I put it in but I was working the 
tractor when I realized the seal was gone and the oil had leaked out.  I had 
to use what I could get until I got finished with the job.  When I added 
more I used a different type grease and it seemed to work better.  I still 
haven't found exactly what I want.
