Reply to "Red n Tacky vs Multi Purpose Grease and others"

My old #397 Coal Loader has an AC/DC motor with a plastic worm gear on the end of the shaft. The worm gear turns two metal gear sets. It doesn't rotate at high speed and, of course, doesn't get operated continuously for very long.

As a result, I ended up using high temperature multi purpose grease (the tan stuff). I ran it for ten minutes and opened the gear case and it seems fine. I have used the same stuff on Honda and Toyota wheel bearings (which is what it calls for) and it has held up. I will check it periodically and post back at some point.

5w20 (by the way) is also what I use for general locomotive lubrication Dennis.

I have Labelle #106, but it doesn't appear to me to be anything more than Lithium and Teflon grease (correct me if I am wrong).

Thanks for all the input.

John
