[QUOTE="sgf, post: 118757, member: 8071"] Besides my 99 Lx665 I also have a Takeuchi mini-excavator and 1960 and 1968 farm tractors. So far I have greased them using high temp. grease someone gave me a box of. This weekend I bought one of those battery operated grease guns. I already have four or five manual grease guns since it seems like everything requires a different grease. I want to use the same grease for these four pieces of equipment I mentioned, so I get my money's worth out of the new gun and improve the process. My mini-x requires EP-2 Lithium based grease and the skid steer Multi-Purpose Moly Grease EP/AW/NLGI2. Of course the tractor recommendation are moot since the standards have changed time and again since their specs. were written. My plan was to use Lucas Red "N" Tacky grease. I contacted Lucas to ask if that grease met the specs as I believed was the case. They didn't say it didn't but they recommended their Heavy Duty Mining and Construction grease, which meets NLGI-2 specs and contains 5% Moly. My question is what are you who have multiple machines using ? I could just go with this recommendation but the stuff is harder to find locally and it is twice the cost of the other greases I use. I get that any thread on oil or grease will contain comments ranging from "they're all the same" all the way to almost fanatical adherence to types and brands. I am at neither end of the spectrum. I just want to follow manufacturer specs so the equipment lasts without throwing money away. [/QUOTE]
