[TenTec]$25? Disolving pto grease

[Mike Hyder -N4NT-]

Years ago the grease was red.  I asked for specifics about it and was told, 
"We just get it down at the co-op."

My uncle is a clock person.  He tells me that to lubricate clocks it is 
important to use either fish oil or a synthetic oil because petroleum-based 
lubricants attack the brass.

Steve,
You are right.  Just checked the receipt - PTO rebuilding kits are $25
each plus shipping.  I also recall that TT's labor to do the job was
about another $75 and since I had rebuilt 2 barrel carbeurators that I
was up to the task.  BTW - the kit includes an envelope of grease - it's
blue and appears to be synthetic.
