[TenTec] PTO lube

[ChasW3KC]

The viscosity of the red stuff is fine for a while, but as 
you suggest, it does tend to eventually dry up.  Decent 
tractor lube though - where the parts get warm each time you 
use the machine.
I used LubriMatic lithium grease the last time I rebuilt my 
PTO and it seems to be holding up well. Mobil One synthetic 
gear lube is supposedly good also, but never tried it.
