10 hours greasing help

   / 10 hours greasing help #31  
For a constant source of good rags what I do is make sure I keep gaining weight so I always have nice T shirts that don't fit anymore to use on the tractor.

Good point! That thinking ahead.

Some greases are incompatible with each other and can cause lubrication failure. I try to stick to one grease and buy it by the case so that I don't have to worry about compatibility.

My JD skid steer only needs the pivots greased every 50 hours (I do it more often than that). One of JD's recommendations is their Multi-Purpose SD Polyurea Gun Grease - TY6341. It seems to be a pretty broad use grease:
Ideal in rolling-contact applications
-15 to 350?ーF (-26 to 177?ーC)
For high-temperature, extreme-pressure conditions
Used for initial lubrication at the factory in U-joints and axle bearings
For excellent protection in corrosive and wet conditions
Compatible with most other types of grease
Excellent for all-purpose applications, especially those requiring a severe-duty grease

At $4/tube, it's not too expensive and is readily available at Deere dealers.

It doesn't have Moly Disulfide, so I guess that's a drawback. But one broad spectrum grease used frequently seems to be a good way to go for me.

Deer's only moly grease has more limited applications:
Special-Purpose HD Moly Grease (TY6333, TY22017, TY24502, TY26980, TY26981)
Application
キ High-temperature, extreme-pressure grease with 3% moly
キ A premium, high-quality grease
キ -10 to 350ーF (-23 to 177ーC)
キ Use with pins and bushings, ball joints
キ Use where shock load and sliding contact are continuous
キ For chain, cable, and conveyor lubrication
キ For applications where pitting, scoring, and wear failures are a problem
キ Compatible with lithium, aluminum, and calcium greases

So do you want a general purpose grease for everything, or separate grease guns for different use?

Here is another note:
Avoid use of John Deere Moly High Temperature EP Grease on high speed applications such as mower spindles and the rear axle.

YMMV
