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.
 
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.
