Paul thank you much, The K7NV website is a terrific source of all solid
information, and i guess i missed where this grease type is mentioned.
But indeed you nailed it my yester-year grease has broken down, but
really even "yester-year" grease if at my worst effort, if it last as
long as it did this last effort that puts me at age 90 and im wondering
about that possibility. So yup im going with "lube for life" thanx

N4CC and I own several prop-pitch rotators, all rebuilt by K7NV. If I were to repack
these on my own, I would use 100% synthetic grease. I have rebuilt gearboxes in other
devices and have used either Mobil1 or Valvoline SynPower. In this application, it
should work as a "lube for life" grease. 100% synthetic grease doesn't break
down over time like most petroleum and lithium-based greases of yester-year.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Prop Pitch Grease preference or recommendation
After years of quality service and dependability I have my PP on the ground and
want to repack the case with the most reasonable source of grease to use to
repack the so called gearbox as I have long ago forgotten what I used 15 plus
years ago for this effort. Additionally any source beyond cutting out and
making my own replacement gaskets is welcomed, as an experience K7NV is not
receptive to providing these unless he has also reworked or rebuilt the PP in
question
Comments and suggestions welcomed.
thank you: mac/mc w5mc
