Is there anywhere else one may be helpful besides U Joints?   Leo (Leo_hallak) Member Username: Leo_hallak Post Number: 85 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Wednesday, May 28, 2003 - 04:57 pm:    I use a air one when I have a compressor handy from just a local tool store. Costs like 16 bucks... -leo   Perrone Ford (Perroneford) Member Username: Perroneford Post Number: 106 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Wednesday, May 28, 2003 - 08:30 pm:    I use a Lincoln grease gun, with a flex tube. Works very well... -P   Kevin Bridges (Craniac) Member Username: Craniac Post Number: 143 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Wednesday, May 28, 2003 - 09:44 pm:    I use a CAT grease gun purchased from the local Hawthorne dealer. I got tired of the crappy one's you get at the car parts store's. As for air grease guns I have heard they can cause "issues" with seals if your not careful   Milli (Milli) Member Username: Milli Post Number: 37 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Thursday, May 29, 2003 - 11:08 am:    Greasey! What is the best grease for prop shafts? That info helps. I'll be looking this weekend and I will hit the hardware/machine shops instead. Thanks.....   Perrone Ford (Perroneford) Member Username: Perroneford Post Number: 108 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Friday, May 30, 2003 - 11:09 am:    I use mobil 1 synth with EP additives. Practically any EP grease will get it done for you though if it's repuatable. -P   Milli (Milli) Member Username: Milli Post Number: 38 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Friday, May 30, 2003 - 12:42 pm:    Great, thanks Perrone.   Paul Long (Humveewannabe) Member Username: Humveewannabe Post Number: 44 Registered: 03-2003 Posted on Saturday, May 31, 2003 - 12:03 pm:    Hi temp moly grease. Experience (lots) greasing steam locomotives; John Deere grease gun available and not costly as I remember from any JD dealer. Matter of fact, the black moly grease that cost a little more than regular won't wash out of joints if used for anything out in the weather as well. Longer lasting in front end parts too.   Milli (Milli) Member Username: Milli Post Number: 39 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Monday, June 02, 2003 - 11:43 am:    Thanks Paul. I ordered some HD Moly... from Amsoil. Sounds like I might have gotten the right stuff. Is there any other spots to hit besides the zerk's on the prop shafts? I did the swivel ball housings (oil) over the weekend and they seem to be holding thir own.
