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

[charlie hill]

Herb running heavy oil in your D-14 transmission should be ok.
IF it was a D-10 the tranny oil would be shared by the hydraulics
but the D-14 has separate reservoirs if my memory is correct
and it should work as long as it keeps the gears lubed ok.
It can't really hurt.  If you get it in there and don't like the results
add some kerosene or diesel to thin it, drain it out and go back to the
correct oil.  

Where is your transmission leaking?

Just found it; but still would appreciate opinions on my intended use.

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.
