Self levelling grease?!?

[matty88]

What is this '00' type self levelling grease I've been told to pump into a rotary hoe? Where can I get it from?

Really never heard of it- only people I know of to help- PM lubricants, as they deal with agricultural. Other than that- self levelling grease?

sounds like striped paint and left handed shovels .....

Yes! I think I saw that grease next to the right and left handed hammers.

Turns out it's Lithium Grease, I used it for my current project and is thick as $hit and red.

Matty- found out its actully the complete opposite.

Average grease is 02, self levelling is 00

Self levelling is extremely thin- and used on the spindles of cotton pickers (I think it was he said) so be careful before pumping thick **** where thin **** is required.

Well, to clear this story up, one guy on an internet forum (BTW I'm restoring an old Rotary Hoe, which is what I need the grease for) said that the hoe should use 00 self-levelling grease. I went to the hoe's company direct and they told me they use Lithium grease, which is what I bought. ($22 for 2 litres).

yep more trouble than it's worth, I got bored and it was leaking out sludge everywhere, so I pulled it down, needed new axle shaft and bearings, and I fully stripped and resprayed it.
