Depending upon the expected air temperature range during the service interval, use grease as shown on the adjoining table.
John Deere High-Temperature/Extreme-Pressure/ Non-Clay Grease is recommended.
If other greases are used, they must be greases meeting SAE Multipurpose High-Temperature Grease with Extreme-Pressure (EP) Performance and capable of operating at compartment temperatures above 150°C (302°F).

At temperatures below -30°C (-22°F), use arctic greases such as those meeting Military Specification MIL-G-10942C.
