[AT] OT lubricating a cable

[Cecil R Bearden]

I bought a cable luber on ebay from the UK.    It was a cylinder with 
various seals and ends with a slot in them that would allow me to seal 
up the cylinder to the cable sheath with the cable inside the cylinder 
and then pump grease into the cylinder and into the cable.  I searched 
for several weeks to find this and it was only available in the UK.  I 
used it to lubricate the cables on my TS110 New Holland (Blue hole money 
pit)
