[AT] [Spam] Re:Bush hog gear grease

[Cecil R Bearden]

Charlie:
I use Mystic central lube grease in gearboxes.   Sometimes called 00 
grease.  It is also packaged in quart bottles with a nozzle.   It is 
flowable, yet does not just run out of a bad seal.  The supplier I get 
it from supplies oil and grease to my county.  He used to sell them 
about 5 barrels of gear oil each summer for bush hogs.   He suggested 
they try the central lube, and the grease sales slowed down to one 
barrel of central lube a year.   They change the grease in their 
gearboxes each year.

I also use it in my truck transmissions that have a PTO gearbox on 
them.   They are notorious for leaking.   It also quiets down noisy old 
truck transmissions.
