Front Hub

[1974IH4x4]

When I disassembled the front hub on my 1971 scout 800 where the U- joint is, it had a bunch of grease inside? Is this normal?

its closed knuckle right ?
i think a "special" type of grease does go in there. by special it a grease that is a little bit lighter then the usual wheel bearing grease.

wait for someone else to answer before you consider my advice, because im not 100% on this.....

Yes, it is a close knuckle Dana 30 front axle.

Corn head grease is commonly used in those knuckles. It's somewhere between gear oil and light grease. Get a couple of tubes for your grease gun and pump it in there.

John Deere makes it. Corn Head Grease

Tractor Supply or other farm supply stores should have it in stock.
