Schaeffers Grease

[xkvator]

Sorry guys I don't have a wheel barrow

I don't either, but my wife does, so when i get some grease, i'll ask her

 

[BRL]

I look forward to reading her feedback posts :yup

Someone HAD to do Kevin's joke eventually in this thread, I mean how often can such a perfect use of that phrase come along in a year :laugh

I don't get paid to be a moderator here so Steve isn't greasing me for the following comments. And salesrep hasn't sent me a case of grease to cause my palms to help my fingers to post this :wink2 . I have been lucky enough to know Steve for a few years now online & we have actually met & gotten to hang out a few times as well. Knowing him as I do I have to say that his integrity is as solid as he posted, and he would not post an opinion about any subject or product that is different than how he really felt. If he didn't like the product of a sponsor he would maybe not post anything since it is a sponsor, but he certainly wouldn't embellish or falsely trump up a product just because it was a sponsor here. Now, there are certainly plenty of other fun things we can pick on Steve about if we want to get into it... :naughty

Thanks BRL..........I think!

For some reason I get the feeling I should be scared now.......

Don't worry, Steve. I'm sure nobody will wonder why your avatar is the
"Viagra" car, unless somebody bothers to point that out...

I can't find it here!!! Can you give me a dealer in Western CT near Danbury? I grabbed one tube when I saw it at a shop in Hartford. I to ran it into my mowers' wheels and spindles and immediately noticed a much quieter and easier spinning wheel. The only thing I can say it would be close to is the expensive marine grease (used on my boat outdrive) I have used when I ran out of normal stuff. I am sold on it. I want to use it in my other machines as well but I need to get a case ordered.

Can you please give me a supplier?

Salesrep does your company produce chisel paste for a hydraulic hammer? If not do you know who does? I dont think that the hammer manufactors make them selfs I would think some makes it and slaps the hammer manufactors label on it. I got quoted 13-16$ a tube for Indeco chisel Paste.

 

[salesrep]

I am not familiar with the term chisel paste. Our #238 grease is oem approved with certain "hammers"

chisel paste

Well here is a link I did on a search http://www.huskey.com/ProdInfo/Chisel%20Paste.pdf#search='chisel%20paste'
I have Atlas Corpco hyd. hammer it has a lincoln Ind. hyd. greaser that uses stnadard grease tubes. The chiesel paste i had was from Atlas Corpco it was a copper color and super thick. I know people who run stand grease in there hyd. hammer as you use the hammer the standard grease just pissis out like water were chisel paste does not. If you have any more info I am intrested.

#238

Just curios what color is it? And can you explain the diffrence in properties from the link I posted to #238 good or bad. I compared the specs but not being a lubricant engineer I have no clue so if you could tell me what it all means. And do you know what this stuff cost and where i can purchase i will give it a try

 

[salesrep]

You can purchase from me. I will pm you pricing. Color is black. I have a red grease 3229 but it does not have as much moly though as much tactifier as the 238. The bottom of the td sheet gives you all the manufactureres 238 is approved by. Waterproof, extra tact,5%moly. I call this the Hulk of our line. Very heavily used in mines and large hd equipment.

We ordered a case of grease based on Steve's testing. Our backhoe just got back from a job and I greased every fitting with Schaeffers grease. I can back up Steve's claim to quiet down the hoe. I swung to the side and stopped and I could hear the grease squishing, but no metal to metal contact or rattling, if nothing else this grease is worth it for the peace and quiet. I could also feel much greater resistance when pumping it in, and it seems to force the grease deeper in before taking the path of least resistance and squirting out. I will report back after using it more, but so far it feels like much better quality than our original grease and it didn't cost any more.

 

[N.B.CONCRETE]

How about puttin' that grease in my Moog balljoints in my Super Duties? Would I get better life than Esso grease ?

 

[salesrep]

As one would expect. I think that you would a difference in the staying power the schaeffers grease vs. the esso.

As promised I am posting my overdue report on Schaeffers Grease. Upon receipt of my case of grease I popped the top from a tube and stuck my fingers in it. This stuff is indeed very stringy and tacky. After greasing my machine I jumped on and started slamming levers like a mad man. The machine was very tight and quiet but I have found this to be the case after any grease job. I spent a day loading horse manure and after about 5 hours I did notice my clink and clank noises coming back. I am guessing that if I had been in harder digging my noises would have developed sooner than that. So as far as sound dampening I can't say that the results were earth shattering in my situation. More than likely my machine is worn to the point where it is going to take more than grease to keep her quiet. I am not by any means dissatisfied with the Schaeffer product and comforted to know that I am using the best product possible in my machine. A dab of this grease between your fingers is quite telling all by itself. I have given several tubes to my friends to try. I have one friend that is a grease fanatic and when he spotted it in my shop he went nuts. So I lost a tube to him also. I hope these guys like it well enough to buy a case so they can lend me a tube when I run out.

I am glad to see you back on line Kevin.I was worried that you might have been the guy killed in that overturned excavator last month that I read about in the Bangor paper and have been watching for a post from you. Ron G

 

[Kevin]

Thanks for the concern Ron. I live about 60 miles towards the coast from Bangor. I don't get the paper or watch the news very often so I wasn't aware of that accident. My full time job is very demanding in the summer months. I have managed to read most of the new posts on here from time to time but have not had a chance to get my 5 cents worth in. The short days and long winter nights should give me a chance to get caught up with you all.

Kevin

 

[salesrep]

Thanks for the feedback Kevin. Another impressive field test is to put a dab in the palm of your hand and try to mix the schaeffers with water. The tactifier and stickyness remains.
I think you will find that you will begin needed to grease less aften as well.
Let me know if those guys order, I'll send you some extras,gifts, etc.

I had a problem in the heat of the summer and running the mowers all day that the grease would actually be running out of them. We would have to grease daily and sometimes at lunch. I was running a good "name brand" synthetic. This was true even on new spindles. The spindles are still tight and cooler temps have helped some.

Would schaffer's help here? I still have to find a source for it near me.
