The trick is finding synthetic open gear grease that isn't prohibitively
expensive. Today, I would not consider a PTO rebuild without synthetic grease.
Otherwise, you're back to a rebuild at some point in the future. With
synthetic, you'll never need a rebuild as a result of the grease drying out.
I've found several DuPont Molykote alternatives, the most inexpensive being
about $30 for a small tube. However, I don’t know if it has the required
"tackiness" needed in this application. If anyone has a source for synthetic
open gear grease, please pass it along.

I remember someone from the orginal Ten Tec said they got the green grease from
the co-op, but that was years ago.
