How about a grease cartridge thread?

At 76, I sometimes think that I should have one of my doctors install a zerk on each knee. Then I could give them a couple of shots each morning so they'd move easier. (Some days they need it more than others.)

Trouble is, I don't know which grease would be best for that application...

My step dad used to rub WD40 on his knee. True story.

I use Amaplex 1275 from LE Lubricants. Expensive but checks all the boxes.

Not cheap.​

I've been using LE Lubricants Amaplex 1275. Works great and I can use it on electric motor bearings without issue.

Now that i think about it as a kid helping Dad in the 50s grease didn't come in tubes but a pail with lid. Dad held grease gun in vice and we loaded it with a putty knife. I don't remember it ever being a messy job.

There is only one grease to use if you farm or care about your land - Deere Corn Head water-based grease. Not as harmful to your environment and no clumps of petroleum grease killing everything it touches; you just have to grease things regularly!

That grease is made to replace gear oil when the seals are blown out. It was never made for pins.

The only info you need in selecting grease is the number of adjectives in the description. The more words like Ultra, Heavy Duty, Supreme, Superior, Wear Resistant, Waterproof, etc, the better the grease. Any first grader knows that. This is kind of like the "Which oil is best" threads...they go on forever and there's never a consensus.

I agree, nothing is ever standard duty or light duty when it comes to most lubrication products. Heavy duty, synthetic polymetric, superior, best flowing and long wearing waterproof grease.

I'm always in the minority, but I do love red and tacky. It's "fortified with anti-seize" which makes me feel a lot better in something that doesn't get used daily. I'll take the advice from an earlier post however and quit using it for lawnmower bearings.

You can use RNT or any other NLGI 2 grease on deck spindle or wheel bearings. That is what the usual spec is. The anti-seize is a good feature for tight clearance pivot points such as axle king pins / loader pins and spindles as well.

Moly is a great additive too, though I think of Moly grease as superior for things the slide, like shafts and splines. Just my perception from past automotive work.

It was interesting as earlier posted by John0829 about the formula change. I just wish the dang tab would come off the tube!
