[AT] 8N steering lubrication???

[WILLIAM HALM]

I could not find a lubrication point either. It appears to me that the steering box gets it's lube splash fashion from the transmission. I had to replace the steering stem on mine, some how grit got into the steering box and the gear end was worn down to sharp edges. Probably from lack of maintenance. Yoy may need to take it a part and service the unit replacing worn parts.

I have a late model 8N that I cannot figure how to get lube into the 
steering box.  I can't see any access holes or filler plugs.  The 
gears sound like they are pretty dry.  Help!   Also, what kind of 
lube is usually used?    Thanks,   John W.
