The Dairy shutdown here in '03 and a new Gardner-Denver Sutorbilt Legend Blower, being used as a vacuum pump, was installed a few years before shutting down. The problem is my wife finally ran out of grease for it and she still has one of the Holsteins from the Dairy herd that makes more milk than her calf can take and has to milk her every other day for about a month until the calf can take it all. The empty grease cartridge is labeled Cononco Tacna Rx No. 2. I can't find it anywhere. I emailed Gardner-Denver last week but have received no help from them.
I did find an MSDS sheet on the grease as I think they have to keep those available, but no one around here carries Conoco,
ConocoPhillips Tacnaョ Rx NLGI No. 2
She has plenty of John Deere Multi-Purpose SD Polyurea Grease but not sure it meets the requirements.

The Sutorbilt manual says to grease it every 500 hours but it sits for long periods. It says use NLGI Grade 2 EP grease and the blower discharge temp up to 350 degrees. Bare in mind the longest it runs for one cow and cleaning out the system when finishing is maybe 20-30 minutes but it needs to greased.
I forget how thousands my late FIL spent on the blower/vacuum pump so she can't afford to replace it but can't do without it as long as she has her favorite cow is around.
