forget penrite, impossible stuff.  Use something called "Multi-Luber" 
from the local John Deere dealer.  It's a relative of the famous Corn 
head grease.

Moss sells Penrite steering box lube:
http://www.mossmotors.com/Shop/ViewProducts.aspx?PlateIndexID=69695  Others
use John Deere cornhead grease:
http://www.greenpartstore.com/John-Deere-Special-Purpose-Corn-Head-Gun-Grease-AN102562.html
 I've used Penrite and it's fine.  I don't really see a need to drain out
the old stuff, if it has big enough pieces of metal in it to do damage,
you've got bigger problems than lube will fix.

Hi Mike,
If your steering box doesn't leak, just undo the filler cap and add whatever flavor of gear oil you normally use. 
Or if you want to change it, undo the 4 bolts at the front, let it drain out, tighten the 4 bolts, add oil, and then degrease the chassis & garage floor.  
Penrite is great when your steering box is leaking. You can buy it in a grease tube, put it in your grease gun (preferably a pistol type gun, with a flexible hose) and pump it in. If you buy it in a bottle, I hope you are a patient man. It's like trying to pour molasses.....
This guy explains the process. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4UwsfMPWuGg 

Best
Chris
