Actually, they did get their start in the lube business due to wagon wheels and such. They started as a candle factory which they used animal fats and such for that but then diversed into the first multi use grease made. The grease was made of animal fats and was used in the wagon wheels but not only was it used that way but also used to fry the bacon as well when the 49er's crossed over they used it to cover their face during freezing weather to help protect against the enviourment.
Yes, generally for up north and mid south, the 221#2 is the better choice. The 238 is a great choice if down south. I just used the 238 on my rear hub wheel bearings on my Harley yesterday when I replaced my tire/tube and brakes.
IMO, I'm only 47 and doing mechanics since the age of 17 with jets and general equipment, I've never seen a grease that has the staying power of what this grease does except one and that was by hydrotex? out of texas. Theirs was every bit as good, expect in one way, P R I C E. They get around 7 bucks a tube wholesale.
