Re: [TenTec] VFO 263 PTO Rebuild Question

Certainly, any grease substitute should be of the proper viscous nature for
the clearances involved.   Dow 44 is used with precision metric ball
bearings and has worked on many high tolerance bearing applications.

I think TT at one time used a red grease, and later the green.  Many green
greases are petroleum paraffin based, but might be synthetic.  The synthetic
greases may hold their lubricity over time better than natural grease that
has this tendency to dry out and congeal.
