Grease comes in a wide range of viscosities, running from 000 to 6. Typical grease that we commonly use is right in the middle at #2. Deere recommends a 0 grease for their corn heads. Thus it is usually labeled as corn head grease. 00 grease is used for cotton picker spindles and is usually labeled that way. I couldn’t find a viscosity listed on the page Jason pointed at. But the list of uses suggests it is 0.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>The differences in viscosity are pretty well explained on this site:<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'><a href="https://www.nyelubricants.com/need-to-know-grease-consistency" title="https://www.nyelubricants.com/need-to-know-grease-consistency">https://www.nyelubricants.com/need-to-know-grease-consistency</a><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>There is a lot more to classifying grease than how thick it is.
