Hagen Brothers farms,Goodrich ND | The grease may be the difference. I used poly urea grease because it has a much higher ratio of oil to thickner,so it has more oil to last longer. I believe I have read that at least some poly urea grease has synthetic oil in the mix . Jim at Dawn mentioned something about a special blue grease to lube the seals, I wish I knew what the formula of that stuff was. The JD poly urea grease will creep out of the seals and form a wet oily ring, about 2 inches wide around the seal in off season inside storage, so it really keeps things lubed. When I cleaned and relubed the type 2 seals after 2 years /4000 acres, dirt had only made it's way past the first seal lip, the rest of the seal/grease looked in new condition. |
