What grease should I use on lawn mower steering joints?

[Ineedhelp2021]

Hey everyone, I was just wondering what grease I should use on lawnmower stering joints. I would like to use something that is going to make it as easy as possible to steer the tractor. I was thinking like Lucas red n tacky #2 but I dont know if it is going to cause the joints to be sticky. -Thanks for your time

I’ve always used a good multi purpose grease, never any thing special. We’re not talking about a lot of heat or wear, never had any failures I can attribute to the wrong lube.

$3.50 at tractor supply

I will second the red #2 from tractor supply. Use it for everything but stuff that needs EP grease.

I use blue marine grease because it has better weather resistance than the red hi-tac but again it is not the space shuttle
And like Rivets I use it on everything that takes a Lithium soap grease which is everything on a mower except diffs & gearboxes .
A bit of dripping from the sunday roast would probably work fine just so long as the bushes / bearings are never allowed to run dry

I use Green Grease, Full synthetic & waterproof. Overkill I'm sure. But I'm out of grade 2 grease.. LOL

Best grease is silicone based. Silicone is anti-water slash moisture. Does not react with rubber parts/bushings like petroleum greases do.

A restaurant hired me to fix a commercial Bunn coffee maker and i had to provide a signed statement that the silocone RTV i used to seal it back up was NSF approved food grade. Same for the grease i used on a meat slicer.
