@redryder I am a Moly grease person. My preferred grease for gears and hasn’t failed me yet. So something like MOLYKOTE or Lucas Red "N" Tacky would be my preference.

They are certainly proud of that MOLYKOTE! I see about four types of it, which one are you using?

@mayer G-1074 since I could scrounge a can. That stuff isn't cheap but works for my needs. Autozone in my area has a couple of different Moly greases and those are definitely cheaper.
