The viscosity of the red stuff is fine for a while, but as you suggest, it does tend to eventually dry up. Decent tractor lube though - where the parts get warm each time you use the machine. I used LubriMatic lithium grease the last time I rebuilt my PTO and it seems to be holding up well. Mobil One synthetic gear lube is supposedly good also, but never tried it.

use the red junk that turns into tar. Maybe they bought 5 tons of it at
some point in the past.
