Thanks Copper.

Im pretty happy with what I use, but will look them up if I want a change.

Okay, I'm sold on Schaeffer 238 for the pins on my backhoe. Since that isn't really a good choice for things like chassis points, ball joints, etc, what does everyone recommend there?

Actually it is great for chassis points and ball joints. The only place you don't want to use it is bearings. I use 238 on everything except bearings and they get red mystik.

I guess I misread...that makes it a lot easier!

Langford, the best Schaeffer's grease to use in your JD Backhoe will be Moly Ultra Supreme #238 NLGI #2. If you'd like to get some or if you're currently using another one of Schaeffer's grease and you'd rather use just one grease for most everything, call our offices and we'll help you figure it out.

Hi Schaeffer Oil Girl,

Can you tell me (us) what does Schaeffer recommend for medium/high speed spindle applications - such as mower decks, brush hogs, etc.?

When I looked over Schaeffer's web site, I thought maybe an applicable spindle grease would be #260 Perma Moly EP Bearing Grease?

I use Mystik JT-6 #2 for everything. I have 200K miles on u-joints of my 4runner and 11 years on the bearings on my BX2200 mower deck with no issues yet.

The best grease for any piece of machinery is the one that gets used frequently.
