What exactly happens when incompatible greases are mixed?

There are to many choices!

I have a couple of grease guns with plungers that will just NOT fit into the grease tube. I've fought with that spring loaded monster so many times. It makes me want a 5 gallon pail and a pump to refill the lever gun.

What exactly happens when incompatible greases are mixed?

In the worst case, a total loss of lubricity. Depending on the makeup of the greases, it can turn to hardened clay and not release any of the oils or the oils all run out. The lubrication properties are lost in either case.

I've been a Lucas Red and Tacky user for about ever. But I hate what they've done with the plastic tubes. Frankly, the grease doesn't seem the same either. What are we using for lithium spindle / chassis grease that still comes in cardboard and works well?

I dropped R&T several years ago for the same dripping reason, what a mess. Switched to Lucas Extra HD green and never looked back. When I can’t find it I use JD poly green, same stuff. Both work really well, no compatibility issues, and no dripping. Best of luck.

I've been using this stuff since I purchased the Kioti, on the recommendation of someone on here. I'm not a commercial user, and this case of grease is going to last me a long time.

I use the Lock-n-lube G-Gun with their locking coupler. Bulk fill the hopper. Foot pedal sends the grease under high pressure. Lift up on the foot lever and it releases all pressure for a clean disconnect. I use a Schaeffer's Moly Grease in my tractors and mowers. Long hose reaches all my zerks on one side of my tractor. Very clean greasing operation.

Red and tacky sucks and runs everywhere. I use a system where the plastic tube screws into the grease gun. No leaks and no waste. Plus you don't get it all over you or something else changing the tubes. I will look and see what the brand is and let you know.
