Grease

IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! Use recommended John Deere greases to avoid component failure and premature wear.

The recommended John Deere greases are effective within an average air temperature range of -29 to 135 degrees C (-20 to 275 degrees F).

If operating outside that temperature range, contact your Servicing dealer for a special-use grease.



TS1411

Use grease based on the expected air temperature range during the service interval.

The following greases are preferred for cutting units:

ˇ John Deere CORNHEAD grease.

ˇ Polyurea - NLGI Grade 0 grease.

ˇ Calcium Complex Grease - NLGI Grade 0 grease.

The following greases are preferred for traction units:

ˇ John Deere Non-Clay High Temperature #2 grease.

IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! Do not mix any other greases (including calcium, lithium, and lithium 12-hydroxl based greases with above recommended grease, they are not compatible.

For best results, completely remove all non-compatible grease from housing and fill with above preferred grease or one of the other greases, which are compatible with each other. Do not use any Bio-Grease.


Greases meeting Military Specification MIL-G-10924F may be used as arctic grease.

Grease Locations: Lubricate Daily
