Since I just have a single grease gun at home (away from the farm shop) I'm trying to find recommendations on the best all-around grease (type/brand) that I can put to just about anything without too much fear of issues.
Obviously it will be a bit of a compromise, but I don't plan on buying a second grease gun, and swapping tubes is not an effective solution, or one I think I'd even do.
At home, the main consumers of grease are my little Ford 1210 with a FEL and a few attachments that take grease, and my Kubota F2100 mower. Other than that, it's ATVs and snowmobiles, but the snowmobile don't have many zerks on them nowadays. I bought a tube of low-temp Mystic grease years ago, and predictably never used it, as again, swapping tubes isn't a real option.
I have can of aviation moly (was used to grease sliding parts on a 25mm chain gun) that I slather on the odd part that it seems appropriate (i.e. sliding parts) or in the place of anti-sieze when I don't have any on hand.
If I put only one type in my gun, what should it be?
