Hi All.

I ordered a new grease gun to lube up all the zerks on my B3000 and snowblower.

Is there any particular kind of grease cartridge I should buy?

I know that there are s few different kind of greases for the Marine environment, but what about in the agricultural world?

Thanks for the input.

This will end up like a Chevy vs. Ford argument.

I prefer 3% moly grease NLGI #2

I think any good quality grease will be fine.

as long as you keep it full of grease you shol;d be fine. I prefer red tacky

Well mine is still under warranty so I go with what’s specified in the manual: Kubota Moly-lit.

All the above are valid choices.
I'm also in the moly-fortified camp.

Cat sells the most equipment with greased pin joints in the world. They recommend grease with minimum 5% moly. Sticks great even when working in water. Started using it 10 years ago when I got my mini-excavator and use it on nearly everything. I have one gun with Mobil 1 synthetic grease for high speed bearings but it separates into oil and soap not really sticking into the pinned joints like moly.

WHAT! Are you mad! :)laughing:)

I would use whatever is in your grease-gun. In my case, it's JD 'green' stuff because the canister fits the JD grease-gun that I have.

Mind you, I don't have a, or need for, a snowblower where I live.
