I'm looking at a PTO cleaning and we had a discussion on greases a few
weeks ago. I was going to go with white lithium and someone said that it
dries out. A couple of folks recommended teflon-based greases and one
called Super Lube which he got at Home Depot.

I used to maintain computers for our local police department and
discussed cleaning and lubing firearms with my customers. There are as
many different ways and products used as there are cops. I think this
may be the same deal...

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.

Subject: [TenTec] PTO lube shelf life...
Hello,
Probably 10 years ago I purchased the PTO rebuild kit for my 544... but
since the PTO continued to function, I never did the rebuild. It has been
sitting on the shelf for a number of years now.
The green lube is still in the plastic bag and still squishy (forgive the
technical term). Should I get new lubricant or go with the "old" stuff?
Am I likely to find good 'grease' locally, or should I just contact Ten
Tec?
Tnx & 73
Jim, AF3Z
