Timmyb Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Has anyone tried Bigfoot grease? Downunder it's sold by moreys. In the USA it might be by Lucas or some other brand. It's very tacky, if you squeeze it between your fingers and stretch it apart it's strings like mozzarella cheese. Anyway, I've put some in my thrust bearing and the difference is night and day. Hardly any vibration through the pedal when I'm using it. It's good in uni joints also. Basically it doesn't get thrown out as much. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50371-greases-aint-greases/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kansas farmer Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 We use mystic here on the farm. Been getting along pretty good with it. We switched a couple years ago from the cheap coop brand.

Timmyb Posted July 5, 2017 Author Share Posted July 5, 2017 Yeah I used to use some general purpose grease. It's not bad stuff, and I'll still use it in slack adjusters, s cams, steering uni's ect. But anything that will generate high centrifugal force I'll use the new stuff. Its a s.o.b. to pump out of the grease gun! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50371-greases-aint-greases/#findComment-374125 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brocky Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Is it a synthetic??? Quote Brocky Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50371-greases-aint-greases/#findComment-374131 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmyb Posted July 5, 2017 Author Share Posted July 5, 2017 They don't use the term "synthetic", rather "lithium complex grease". So it's anyone's guess...

russell t Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 We started 12-15 years ago using a Shaffer's moly grease that is a para synthetic?? It is about 4$ per tube by the case. changing from the Standard sticky Red stuff cut the pin and bushing wear by 75% and you grease consumption by 50% on our excavators. It works great on U joints and tie rod ends as well. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50371-greases-aint-greases/#findComment-374177 Share on other sites More sharing options...
