Seized Lower Hitch Point

CompactTractorFan · Mar 19, 2011

OK everyone...I think I have all the lube I need. I went out and bought:

Blaster SL Silicone Lube
Blaster PB Penetrating Catalyst
Blaster LG White Lithium Grease
A tube of regular white lithium grease

And we also have red grease, WD-40, and 3-in-1 oil...

So, which one should I use again???

Anything you listed is better than WD40...

You should *NOT* grease that ball, grease will simply attract and hold dirt, that will make it worse in the long run. Keep it oiled maybe, but no grease, that piece of the hitch spends a lot of time in the dirt...

I answered that in post #13

PB Blaster or Fluid Film.

My old BX came with painted ends so thick the eyeballs were impossible.
I took some medium black grit cloth and polished them down. Then, I shot them with white grease and took a long drive extension from the socket set and worked them. Polished some more, worked some more. Finally, they were free enough not to be a pain anymore.

It's common deal Kyle.

Thanks BP. I'll try the grit cloth...:thumbsup:

I vote Fluid Film.. Pb Blaster is good, I think Fluid Film is better, I have been very pleased with it. I got hooked with the free sample, and went and ordered some. the stuff really works, stays put, and even smells pretty good. I figured it was hype, have heard about it for years, never tried any.. Well.. now I have..
