D_Mac 8,709 #1 Posted September 23, 2019 (edited) Rebuilding a transmission on a RR-65 calls for bentonite based grease to be packed in gear box. I can find some Peerless brand but it is a little pricey. Is there a cheaper substitute ? Cleaned most of the old grease out but some remains. I am not going to hot tank it. Wondring if any of you guys know of a cheaper replacement. Thanks Edited September 23, 2019 by D_Mac Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brinkkl2000 1 #2 Posted September 23, 2019 I have used John Deere corn head grease before when it called for Bentonite. Seemed to work pretty good. That was a few years ago and the trans is still going strong. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 41,337 #3 Posted September 23, 2019 That grease is the nastiest messiest crap I've ever run across. did you have to throw your clothes away after you cleaned up the case? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stepney 2,325 #4 Posted September 23, 2019 I honestly just pack them up with light axle grease, and tack on a dollup of cornhead. No issues after many years. Smoother shifting too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
