[AT] PTO shaft grease?

[szabelski at wildblue.net]

I use marine grease that doesn’t seem to break down when exposed to water. The only draw back I can complain about is that the two halves of the drive shaft tend to slide apart on their own when I disconnect the drive shaft from the PTO and I have to store the tractor end apart from the implement since the two halves won’t stay together when disconnect. I also is it on the PTO shaft before connecting the drive shaft to the tractor.

Hi All, would like to get opinions on PTO shaft grease. Whatever I'm
using now doesn't seem like the right stuff. I'm not talking about the
universal joint zerks, but rather the grease that keeps the two halves
of the shaft sliding smoothly. Anything I use seems to harden up and get
dry. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike M
