Why does tacky mean bad for you? I will probably be switching to the marine grease. Any top brands to look for?

You are honestly above my head with that, I have been reading and reading about grease today but I haven't gotten to that section yet I guess lol

So the marine grease is possibly a better way to go? I don't mind switching greases for something better, and I am not partial to any brand so if there is something even better than lucas marine for an every day grease for ball joints, u-joints, lawn mower spindles, I am happy to take suggestions.

So I took my lawn mower in for service because I didn't have the time. Normally I do it myself. I have always used the Lucas Xtra Heavy Duty grease on the entire machine, spindles and all. I started using it a long time ago because of its water resistance and my mower unfortunately does get...

Okay thank you for all of the replies. Looks like I have some rethinking to do. Luckily I haven’t purchased any batteries or anything yet so I’m still in the design phase. I figured the 36v pump would be a great thing but it’s looking to be a bit impractical unfortunately.

Well it’s for a telescoping hydraulic cylinder for a dump bed and honestly the pump is overkill probably but I already had it and would like to put it to use. The idea is to have a ~250A+ alternator which would charge the main battery in the truck quickly and obviously would be revved up during...

I don’t disagree but I hate to have to place three batteries under the truck. Just cost and space wise.

well to be honest I do not know what the pumps current draw will be. I just know it’s 36v which generally is achieved by three 12v batteries in series. So assuming that was the intention then the current draw at max would be about 150-175A since that’s the draw of a 12v pump and the 36v pump is...

Hi all, so I am working on a project. The project is adding a large hydraulic pump to a truck. It’s a 36v pump. My truck has one battery under the hood. My thoughts were to put two battery mounts on the frame behind the cab and then hook all three batteries in series to make 36v. To satisfy the...
