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
