Fluid Film and New Tractor

[rcio7684]

My new Massey Ferguson GC1723 will be delivered tomorrow and I am going to use Fluid Film to coat the underside of the mower deck. I have never used Fluid Film, or any similar product and am wondering if there are any other part(s) of the tractor that would be good to use it on?

A forward thanks for all information and help!

And being you are in the salt belt... every other part that doesn't get greased & is subject to rust.. I spray a light coat on the entire underside of our machine & just about every other metal part.... But I also spray the undersides of our vehicles (the inside of the jeep frame twice a year), all our other equipment & all our attachments (tractor or vehicle related).

Fluid Film is an excellent product if used as intended & correctly... Oh & congrats on the new Massey Ferguson!!!

As others have said... Fluid Film is, I believe, a lanolin based lubricant.

If it moves but doesn't have a dedicated grease nipple (zerk), spray it.

Thanks to everyone for all the replies and information. Is there anything I shouldn't spray it on?

Don't leave a heavy layer on rubber parts. Someone on here pointed that out to me years ago but I didn't believe it. I use it in the doors, nooks, and crannies of my vehicles and found where it accumulates heavy on rubber, it absorbs and the rubber expands and contorts. I spray it on everything and wipe off the excess from rubber and painted surfaces. No problems that way, and you don't need a lot because it creeps into all areas over time.

keep it away from electric motors such as starters it will ruin them.

Lots of fluid film fans here, and I do have some.
I much prefer LPS-3 though, as it has a brown color, and thus is easy to see.
Fluid film is almost clear.
LPS-3 has a mil. spec., does Fluid Film??

Also 3pt hitch "balls" where the pins go thru.
