[AT] Cub - Update

[John Hall]

I'm with you on this one Jim. I would think plain old grease would be 
just fine in a steering box on a 70 year old tractor that will run 10 
hours a year in 30 minute intervals. The only person to cuss you will be 
the mechanic that ever opens it up to fix it!!!! At the end of the day, 
anything that will stay in the box is better than nothing!!!
