I have enjoyed my Scout very much and have talked with several local 
hams who have given me suggestions for lubrication the PTO drive shaft.
I have used white lithium grease, which is available at Auto supply 
stores. It comes in a spray can, and one can spray it on a piece of 
paper and then transfer small amounts very precisely using a toothpick 
or  other small instrument. Unlike silicone grease it sticks very well 
to the shaft, does not drip, and greatly improves the ease of PTO 
tuning. I have greatly improved the smoothness of tuning using this 
method.  Good luck!
