[TenTec] PTO lube shelf life...

[Roger C. Rose]

Jim,

I don't think the grease Ten-Tec provides is anything special. I'm 
looking to doing the same thing soon and there is quite a discussion on 
greases on the TenTecWiki PTO rebuild section:  
http://www.tentecwiki.org/doku.php?id=pto  I've about decided to go with 
white lithium grease as our local bike shop doesn't carry the others 
mentioned. See what you think.

73,
Roger, W5LXS
