Getting ready to put the 2424 back together with the new clutch. In the service manual it says to apply a light film of Lubriplate to the splines of the driven disk with a small paint brush.
Then it says to pack the sleeve that holds the bearing with Lubriplate.
Lubriplate is just a brand name right? They make all kinds of lubricants.
Which do I get, or can I just use plain grease.
Did a google search and found there is white grease, gun grease etc.

| I went ahead and took it apart and cleaned it up. Not that big a deal since everything was hooked up already. Had to split it a 2nd time because the clutch was not adjusted correctly from the rebuild shop, so 3rd time was a charm after making some bushings for the clutch arm. Now I can start fixing some leaks while the loader is off, makes it so much easier to work on.

| Lubriplate is actually solidified oil, not grease. It is oil that has been whipped up until it solidifies. We use it in mechanical linkages in some electro/mechanical equipment. It is lighter than gun grease and the parts don't cut a track through it and then go without lubrication. If you have access to crawler carriage lubricant or corn head lubricant, that is probably closer in consistency to it.
But no, I wouldn't take it back apart again :)

| in my opinion, I did not see any wrong answers here. Lubriplate makes many different products. Their assembly grease is most likely what was referred to, and it is white and an excellent product. gun grease is fine IF, you don't use too much. It can dry out over time and get thick, however, if you just gave it a light coating, you will be fine.
Once again, IMHO (in my humble opinion)

| Should I split it again and clean it all up? Not a big deal to do it again. Just don't want any problems down the road with the loader back on it, the loader was a pain to take off.

| Grrrrr! Too late, I used gun grease : (
All put back together tonight.
Need to make some bushings for the fork that pushes the bearing, can't get my 3/4 free play.

| I will admit to using gun grease more than a few times also.

| Molykote is the recommended spline lubricant. The flexplates for hydrostatic drives always came with some.

| gun grease is too thick.it also will cause the clutch splines to get sticky after the grease gets old. lubriplate is a special thin creamy grease. also dont want very much on the plines as if it gets throw in the clutch then you will have problems with a jumpy clutch. biggest thing is to have the splines real clean and shiny so the clutch can slide on them as required, and greasing is not really recommended. i do it real sparingly.

| I just wipe some diesel or engine oil on the shaft to keep it from rusting. Anything that could get clutch dust to stick to it is going to get gummy and could make the disc stick. Just my .02

That is a good point, I did not think of that. In that case, leave the splines dry as rustred suggests. You could use graphite too. I have a spray can of the stuff that has come in handy. I sprayed the steering gears on my Farmall Regular with it...

| Lubriplate is just a trade/brand name, plain gun grease will be just fine.

| I've used lubriplate on insert bearings and on the crankshaft journals during an engine rebuild.
