<DIV>The article leads me to wonder if corn head or cotton picker spindle grease
should be used in a Cub throwout bearing.</DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>I might need to re-read the machinery lubrication article Jim
posted. Is it saying an NLGI 2 is actually a *better* choice than thinner
NLGI 0/00 ("corn head grease"). I took the article to be simply
affirmation that the old grease trick in place of gear oil is can be a good
solution in some circumstances, like steering gearboxes.

with you on this one Jim. I would think plain old grease would be <BR>just

mechanic that ever opens it up to fix it!!!! At the end of the day,
<BR>anything that will stay in the box is better than nothing!!!<BR><BR>John
