Try the almighty FF.

 

u cud try this... lol jp

 

I second the Fluid Film and keep an extra can in the truck.

 

My boss won't spring for the fluid film and I know if I pay for it out of my own pocket I won't get my money back so I guess it's back to good old grease.

 

Try Schaeffer's synthetic with moly.On pin and bushing applications on my off-road iron,it always stays put,lasts longer, and is more slippery than anything I've ever seen.I inject it on the center pin on my Boss V-plow--works great.

 

i would try the FF AR semi liquid form http://www.kellsportproducts.com/catalog/item/4439265/4763803.htm

 

Robbi are you having problems with the quadrant ("half moon rail thing") screeching or making noise when you angle the blade?

Or do you simply want to lube it as PM?

 

No, no problems. Just wanted to put something on there to keep it from binding. It was a bit rusty.

 

BB I am also looking for grease for that half moon, I have used FF but I can see clean bright worn spots on the half moon, I think (also) that some thing thick and pasty would work good in that spot.

However, I have drank the coolaid on FF, I think it is majic for rust and metal protection.

So any pasty grease suggestions?:salute:

It isn't even necessary to lube the quadrant at all actually. A little rust and worn paint is normal..but if it's actually binding due to being dry then something is wrong (bent).

If your just trying to prevent wear, it's much more important to periodically grease the pivot bolt that the quadrant actually pivots on than it is to lube the "half moon" part.


You can use a little chassis grease or dry graphite spray on it though if if gives you peace of mind.
