[QUOTE="jimdawg185, post: 1170675, member: 757"] OK, that makes sense. So, a quick grease tutorial... Grease is made up of four basic parts 80-90% base oil (many people don't realize how much of grease is the base oil 10-15% soap (the part that gives the grease its...um greasyness) 1-5% common additive (EP's, Aw's ect ect.) 1-5% proprietary additives Base oil viscosity is important, and an unlikely piece of info we will never find for this thing... The thickener or soap used back then was either lard or straight lithium. There is one thing we can pretty much count on, there probably was no EP. And that is nearly as important as viscosity. An EP could cause an issue with those bearings as it would be constantly be activating and interfere with the hydrodynamic film separating the bearing surface and the journal or babbitt bearing. We have the perfect grease for this. It is Lithium, it has no EP, and it has a high quality base oil. The only thing I am not sure on is the base oil viscosity. And at 500 rpm, its going to be just fine. PM me your address and Ill send you a tube. [/QUOTE]
