Funny, I originally wrote Axle and spell check flagged it.

And isn't Axel a person's name? I thought the thing a tire rotates on is an
axle.
Don't pay attention to me. Get off my lawn!

There is some stuff that I have from back in motorcycle days. I don't
remember where I got it, but it said "salt water resistant" on the package. I
still use it (the little container lasts a long, long, LONG time). I use it to
lube the PTO shaft on the tractor and mower. Also use it on the hitch pins/draw
pins for different accessories. Very sticky stuff, but it's not black. More
like a dark brown.
I could take a picture of it, but that container must be 30 years old...

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?
