What is the best grease you've found for heavy equipment, implements, drivelines, electric motors, etc., used outdoors in dirt, sand, rocks and water. I'm looking for two different categeries: 1. plain bearings that just work back and forth. 2. Anti friction bearings (roller, ball) 1,000-3,000 RPM. Thank You for any info.

The American Lubricants Company is well known for their high quality products. I have set up a web site that is secure and private. Orders are send directly to The American Lubricants Company and usally shipped the same day.

Thanks for your Question!

ALCO-METALUBE "INDUSTRY'S TOUGHEST LUBE"
Paul this grease is THE VERY BEST GREASE on the market. It is far superior to all the supposedly great greases on the market.
SPECS.:
• Thickener..... ..... ..... ..Lithum
• NLGI..... ..... ..... ..... .Grade 2
• Double Weight Gravity..... ..2.2
• Shock load resistance..... ..132,000 psi minimum
• Timken OK load..... ..... ...80+
• Temperature service range....-30°F to 750°F
• And it will not wash out!!!!

With this grease you will NOT have squeeking after 8 hours of operation. With the Metalube you will reduce the amount of greasing by at least 1/3.

Paul if you are interested I can mail you a picture of three hinge pins from the bucket on a backhoe. Two of the pins were lubricated with name brand top-of-the-line industrial greases and the third pin was lubricated with Metalube. The difference is nearly unbelievalbe...The two greased with Brand X are rusted, corroded, gouged and worn out. The pin greased with the Metalube is bright and shinny and shows no signs of wear. Did I mention that the pins lubricated with Brand X were run for three (3) months and the pin lubricated with the "INDUSTRY'S TOUGHEST LUBE" ALCO-METALUBE was run for ONE YEAR (12 FULL MONTHS)!!!!! I can send you a testimoninal letter from L. A. Ditching Co., Culver City, CA.

Yes I do sell it. Look at the web site and compare the specs. with the grease you are using at present. Temperature service range -30°F to 750°F. Shock load resistance 132,000 psi minimum. It is waterproof --- wheelbearings for boat trailers. It stays on whatever it touches!!

Alco-Metalube really is "INDUSTRY'S TOUGHEST LUBE".

But where can I buy it? I found the web site and it told me what the stuff weighs but not how much it costs or how to locate a dealer in my area (Kansas City).
Thanks,
Ivan

Ivan I don't believe there is a dealer in your area - I would have to check with the manufacturer to be for sure. The price is $101.00 per case plus shipping. You can order it from the manufacturer or if there is not a dealer near you I will ship it to you freight paid. Might I inquire as to the application(s) you are looking at? I would be glad to send you some testimonial letters that might be applicable to your use.

I came by this (http://www.goa-northcoastoil.com/products/products/grease.html ) and remembered your post re. grease. I am not affliated with this co. in any manner. It is an indepth article but is worth reading IMO.

Ditto to what Frank says about Lubriplate. I work in heavy industry as a machinist/ tool&die tech. We use lubriplate on pins and bushings. It is good stuff or we wouldn't use it. We also use it on the slower rpm, sealed roller and ball bearings.

Paul, The best grease I have ever used by far is the Lubriplate white grease especially for pins and bushings. Years ago I ran a truck over 800,000 miles with the original pins and bushings in the front axle, Frank

I worked for a large industrial concern that installed electric motors from 50 to 800 H.P. in their products and our warranty claims were excessive due to motor replacement originating from bearing failure. We concluded the motor manufacturer was not adequately greasing the bearings and that what grease they did put in was caking. We did a thorough evaluation of various greases and decided to go with a Chevron product that I believe was SRI-1. This may have been an industrial product but I now use a similar product that I get from the the Chevron distributor. I will post the particulars after I go to the shop. I would like you to post the info for the grease you decide on for the pin/bushing application as I am not happy with what I am using in this application. Thanks

For areas where there is little motion, but high loads, a good molydenum disulfide grease is hard to beat. We use it in high load situations on aircraft where they will not be greased often and failure of the joint is not an option. It tends to stay where it is put. Don't know how it responds to dirt and foreign matter, though.

When you get up to 1000 rpm, a bearing should be oil lubricated, not greased.

I think that your primary concern is that you have good seals, as a bad seal will mean a very short life for any bearing under the conditions you describe.

The trouble I'm having is: 1. Squeeze out and therefore squeeking pins/bushings after less than 8 hrs use between lube application. Most are sealed pin/bushing with not much wear. 2. Hardening of lube in roller/ball bearings running between 1,000 and 3,000 RPM.
Thank You

Greasing often is probably more important than chasing down a certain brand...

Paul check with NAPA. They have a red silicone grease that is water repellant, etc. which should work for your needs. I cannot think of the exact name off the top of my head.
