  All,

I need to pull my tractor hauling trailer on about a 5 hr (each way)
trip Saturday. Running empty going and hauling about 1500 lbs coming
back. It has the factory "bearing buddy" type center caps on it so you
can grease the wheel bearings with the grease gun. I think they're
Dexter axles, anyway the bearing buddy's are factory. What kind of
grease should I use? We use a multipurpose (Massey-Ferguson) lithium
grease in the grease gun on the farm but I think it's a little bit
"lighter weight" than regular wheel bearing grease. I wanted to make
sure before I started pumping a bunch in there. (I know not to over-do
it and run the risk of pushing grease out the inner bearing and all over
the brakes.)

Thanks!
Al
