Grease Type

[AddisonM30]

I am looking for the best grease to use for smaller equipment. I have a few garden tractors with mower decks, a couple log splitters, a snow blower and some push mowers that I would like to use one grease if possible. I was looking at Amsoil 100% synthetic multipurpose grease but I am open to suggestions.

For all applications within a given piece of equipment? I'm not sure that is a good solution - depends on what the OEM recommends but then I'm not familiar with the Amsoil product.

Lucas red n tacky on everything I own. However, regular greasing is much more important than the type of grease you use.

Exactly. At the end of the day, the “wrong” grease is better than no grease.

Does your mower deck have ball bearings or tapered roller bearings? If they have sealed on both sides ball bearings I have my doubts greasing them will push debris out. The low cost replacement spindles off ebay seem to be working well and have grease fittings. I often get molybdenum bearing grease maybe because I like the sound of it. John Deere has quite a few choices at the place I visit.
