LaBelle will never tell us what generic grease they use in those pricey tubes - but I will take a look at the 113 specs - I am so cheap I use the LaBelle quite sparingly.
But I really smear on the Lubriplate 110 - it costs me nothing!
And for the record - while I was the MTH maintenance guy for the local museum here is what we came up with:
Day in, day out, six days a week eight hours a day - axle gears every three years. Motor worms every six years. Axle bearings every decade! Motors almost never - except in the beginning we replaced them when the worms wore out.
White lithium grease (Lubriplate or equivalent) on all gears. SAE 30 on all axle bearings.
Also, we ran a NWSL Mod 0.5 in a steamer - once we put ball bearings on the motor shaft the gearbox out-lasted three large K&D motors. Used LaBelle Teflon grease in that one.
- I am with Pat - use what makes you happy.
