[TenTec] TRI-flow comment from a user...

Hi-
    Need to re-lube your ten tec PTO? Try the Tri-Flow spray bicycle lube. It is available at lots of hardware stores and even the local grocery/pharmacy/wine/car products store in the village here in NH.
    I have used it to lube PTO's quite a few times with great success... and no failures.
    After getting to the PTO I set the rig up so that I can spray the mechanism liberally with Tri-Flo and let it then drain to wash away the old dried up grease. Not just a short squirt, I really wash the old grease away as I run the tuning knob from one end of its rotation to the other many times. It has freed up PTO's that I couldn't begin to turn.
    The last one I did was just a year ago, and it is still as smooth as you could want, but not so free as to not have the friction to drive the PTO.
    I  expect that since the Tri-Flo oil can survive on a bicycle chain and its hard usage than, most likely it will survive in a PTO for a long time.
    Gosh, if you have tried it and found that it doesn't work, let me know!! 
    Oh, it is not for the purist, I suppose.

Happy New Year!!
