Wondering what the consensus is for the grease
to be used for the bearings at each end of the rum on a LM-470D
motorized crank up that has the Zerk Grease fittings and also for the
TB-@ or 3 ( Not sure which one it is at top of tower that
tha antenna load sits on )

Tower is a few miles inland from ocean and does get some salt air exposure
and needs to be re-greased at this time.


I have been told 2 types

Boot Trailer Wheel Bearing Grease ( The Blue/Green colored type )
or
Medium White Lithium

What say.... tower gurus ???
