When I was a kid, my grandfather had a container of axel grease. Like grease
the hubs/axels of a horse drawn vehicle axel grease. It was sticky nasty black
stuff. The only use I knew about was he would grease the ball hitch on his car
prior to pulling his camp trailer.
Tomorrow I start the reassembly of a big ol dump truck transmission. One of
the things I will need to do is to mate the input shaft to the main shaft and
the input shaft has a bunch of needle bearings inside. Always a touchy thing.
You grease up the input shaft, carefully place the bearings and hope they do
not fall out during assembly.
I wish I had some of my grandfather’s axel grease. I am considering melting
some paraffin and adding some grease to make a sticky facsimile of what I
remember.
Anyone know of a super thick and sticky grease?
