[TenTec] PTO grease

[John]

The last rebuild kit I bought from Ten Tec was in 2001 and it contained
green (?axle?) grease.

I haven't heard of people using Lubriplate in PTO's, however, I do know of
hams NOT happy with it's long-term performance in rotators.  (really dries
out - in a shorter time than factory grease)
