[TenTec] PTO lube shelf life...

[Mike Hyder -N4NT-]

I asked Garland Jenkins, a super-tech at Ten-Tec, what grease they used. "We 
just get it down at the Co-Op," he said.

I suspect that others can advise you about grease that will survive better 
over time.

I used Phil Woods bicycle grease once, but after several years it became a 
bit gummy.

73, Mike N4NT
