0 or 00# grease sources?

[Soundguy]

I have occasional use for 0# and 00# greases. usually 3-4 tubes a year at most.. sometimes only 2 a year.

i had been getting cornhead grease ( polyurea based ep 0# ) from my local greensouth dealer.

they stopped selling it on the shelf, adn i can get it but have to order somethig like a 30 tube case to get it.

I'd almost consider a 10 tube case.. but past that is just way too much.

anyone know any 'regular' box store or 'on the shelf' suppliers that are carrying anything like this?

my local CNh tractor dealer used to carry EP pourable grease too.. but he's been bought out and it's more of a lawnmower place now..

ideas?

No JD dealers by you? any auto parts should be able to get you in some.

..... I mentioned i HAD been getting it at my local greensouth dealers....

all the local auto parts places faces glaze over when I ask for a nlgi 0# or 00# grease.

they have no idea what i'm talking about or how to order it...

I had no idea your greensouth dealer was a JD dealer hence the question,anyway if your auto parts stores NAPA,carquest,etc,etc can't help you that's sad you can always go on line last resort.

any other Ag dealers by you, CAT,challenger,NewHolland,etc...

SG;

I got some NGLI 0 grease cartridges from McMaster-Carr. They have all kinds of grease in their catalog. I just browsed through until I found some Moly NGLI 0 cartridges. Good Luck

that's all 'greensouth' is.. jd only.. hence the 'green' in the name.. it's a southern based ( florida, georgia, south carolina ) JD dealer organization.

I already mentioned a CNH dealer as well..

napa gives a blank stare.. much as they do when you walk in with a part number you KNOW they carry and is still in their system as active, yet they don't have on hand, or can't punch in a 'car' application into their computer so they can figure out how to look it up.

last time i tried to get a 0# grease from them they kept asking me what vehicle .. sad....

I can find cornhead, checvron and amsoil 0# greases online easy enough.. again.. don't really need to buy a lifetime supply.. which is what most of the suppliers I find online are wanting to sell. have yet to find one willing to sell.. say.. 2-3 tubes.. or 5 tubes.. etc..

since i only go thru a couple + tubes a year I don't want 30 tubes setting around waiting for me to use them in 15ys..

options on mixing your own?

wasnt the blend 50/50 axle grease and 80/90wt gear oil?

 

[Soundguy]

have done it before but don't prefer it.

i found some #1 locally.. but still would love to get some 0 or 00# locally.

stopped by fastenall, and they had a glimemr of hope.. they might be able to order amsoil 00ep.. but I will need to see if they can order by tube or if they want me to buy a semi truck load like everybody else does..

We get mobil SHC 007 at work in quart containers (kinda like gear lube).

But unfortunatally I dont know who their supplier is

For not using much of it, your best bet may be online as others have mentioned. A case cant be that $$$ and should last you a couple of years.

 

[Soundguy]

a 10 tube case should last me 3-4 years at my current usage rate. and that's about the MAX i'd want to store it for.

I would also consider pourable EP lube.. like for golf course equipment. alas.. our local dealer stopped carrying it Oh wait. locally I can buy it in 35g kegs.. have enough to pass down to the children I don't have.. )
