I own a landscaping company. I used Lucas oil Red & Tacky #2 for all of my equipment. Never had any issues whatsoever. My equipment runs nonstop 5-6 days per week. Lastly. Yes I’m on lawnsite.😂
Anyone using Amsoil Muti synthetic or Polymer grease? I never see any videos on their grease. I also seen Prolube Extreme really pushing their grease and Triax Spheron , anyone tried those?
Thanks! Great advice for a beginner, got the Mobil XHP 222 online. Can you comment on Scag spindle greasing? there's a discharge point on the opposite side of the zerk that's supposed to keep you from blowing the seals. Should you keep adding grease until it starts coming out the discharge? I'm a little afraid to do it.
Ken, on mine, the over pressure valves would open and bleed a little grease at the 7 pumps mark. Those spindles are awesome in the fact that too much grease or too frequent greasing, will open and prevent seal damage as you said. They are also very conservative with grease. Scag recommends 40 hours on those. I don't like to go a full 40 hours on mine so about the 10 to 15 hour mark, I'll carefully pump 3 or 4 pumps to keep it well greased. I really do think the Scag spindles are very well engineered. Thank you for watching!
Hi deanhere, I use this grease on all components. On a side note, I was at my local SCAG dealer yesterday and they have SCAG proprietary spindle grease. Thanks for watching!
start end, good deal on the bearing being greaseable. Keeping the bearing greased is the key to a long life of this component. Also be careful not to over grease as any excess can be detrimental to other CVT components designed to run dry. Have fun on your scooter and drive safe!
Wish I would have found these videos years ago. Just awesome.
I love my Cheetah and you’ve made me like it even more with great info!
Thanks!
Nice explanations. Getting analysis paralysis with all the damn brands available. This video makes sense. Period. Thank you.

@@kenmaher128 Thank you for taking the time to watch the video!
Thanks for the info. I will be ordering mine. Can I use this on the entire chassis of my scag or just the spindles?

I like Lucas red & tacky
Lucas is great stuff.
Finally, I put some XHP222 on the bearing of the CVT, it worked well. I will open and check it frequently to see if the grease dry fast.

Hello sir, can I use xhp222 grease on my scooter's transmission bearing? Thank you for your information!
start end, thanks for watching!
Can you give me more info on your transmission?
Is it a CVT?
Is your bearing sealed or factory greaseable?
@@pmtips4482 Thanks for your reply. The scooter's transmission is a CVT. The bearing is greaseable.

I know, I just bought another case of 10 and it was 80 dollars delivered. Oils and lubes have gone up a bunch since covid.
