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?
