On a related note, where do ya'll buy 5 gallon buckets or small drums of grease to fill your old tubes? I'd like to start doing that if I could save a few bucks.

I like to switch color of general purpose grease. Red, gray, blue, ect, and its easy to tell the old grease (last color) is all pushed out.

Now, if your a good boy, and always grease every time, less of an issue. If you might grease less often then you should, its nice to know you pushed the old out and have it filled with fresh clean grease.

Yes, im guilty of greasing less often then I should, but its not like I Dont grease.

buckets of grease does not sound like fun. IS there enough savings to justify doing that? I guess it would depend how much equipment you have. I work at large non union excavating company and they dont do that. Probably bc workers wouldn't save the tubes or fill them back up. It would be a messy job. I dont see much benefit in this to only save a 2 dollars

I agree, but as much as I HATE swapping grease cartridges, I would consider a large air greasing device that wheels around a 5 gallon bucket.

60yrs ago we would get grease in a 5gal pail and fill the gun with that. That's all we had. Not sure if they had even invented cartridges yet. Something like this.
