Subject: Re: [TenTec] PTO lube shelf life...
I asked Garland Jenkins, a super-tech at Ten-Tec, what grease they used. "We
just get it down at the Co-Op," he said.
I suspect that others can advise you about grease that will survive better
over time.
I used Phil Woods bicycle grease once, but after several years it became a
bit gummy.
