Don't know how far you are from Alexander, AR but point the bike in that direction and visit Trevor @ RovahFarm. I'm sure he will have "One-shot" grease STC3435 in stock.

I'll have to look them up and see where Alexander is.

The triumph started right up and I had a very pleasant ride to TSC and found some Winch accessories and hardware as well as the Super S Cotton Picker Spindle Grease 00. I see now why 00 is grease sold in one-shot quantities. This stuff doesn't exactly pour, even at 70 degrees, but given a Tall funnel to hold a pint measuring cup and enough time, it will eventually go in.

I sucked 22 ounces of old grease and 90EP out of each housing and put 12 ounces of fresh 00 back in, so at least I didn't do any harm and may actually have done some good. Now I can drive her with a clear conscience...or at least without worrying about the swivel ***** blowing up. My ***** are happy now.

The level plug is item 5 in the illustration


You can use 90w in the swivels without issue if your swivel seals and swivel ***** are in good shape. When using 90w people usually remove the seal in the stub axle and also run 90w in the hubs as well.

PT always was yak'n about removing the seals on his so I followed him down the primrose path. I went with synthetics in everything except the trans and my girlfriend...... I don't off-road my daily much anymore, need it for the roads up here and with the below zero temps we've had the last two winters I thought for sure I was gonna twist an axle or blow up a third just getting the truck to move at near full throttle early in the mornings. So I switched and haven't looked back. The synth is a little more forgiving between changes as well, not always on time. Meh, to each there own.......

A quart of "Super S Cotton Picker Spindle Grease 00" was just $5 at TSC. It seemed an appropriate product name for a Disco I've named Dixie (sort of in honor of her former female owner who left lots of air fresheners in the vents and under the driver's seat and lots of bobby pins in various cracks and crevices), and because Dixie Disco rhymes.

Alexander Arkansas is a 4 hour drive down south of Little Rock and is actually closer to cotton country, but the local TSC is only 25 minutes north on a nice country two lane road.
