I confess to not having read this whole thread. So at the risk of repeating
others experience or making statements that conflict with real experts, let
me say I have 4 TB-3's that were lubricated with Lithium grease 33 years ago
and they have worked perfectly ever since without any need for service. I'm
a EE, not an ME, so maybe dry is better. I'm just reporting what worked for
me.

know that they are sold dry. I am looking for facts from Rohn that say that
these bearings should not be lubricated. I am not interested in any
information except from Rohn.
Then I suggest you contact Rohn since you're not interested on our input
anyway.
