Yes , customer swears he is greasing it, and swears it was assembled with grease. I still think that the corn head has a gearbox dragging.

Perhaps you could take a Hugger out for him to try for a day to see if its his head or his combine. Heck, he might (ok, probably will) like it well enough to buy it from you! Tom langan
