grease or oil?
Original Message   Feb 1, 2008 8:45 pm
Quick question... As I have an older Bolens snowblower, I am unable to find any literature about lubricants. It's an Artic 70/75 and seems to be built like a tank. I've looked through this forum, and other online resources and am unable to come up with a "standard" for auger gear lube.

Given the question "what should I use in my housing?", and given that it's old, it leaks, and I have one shot at success, what should I put in my auger housing to keep it from turning to metal filings? It's full of marine grade grease now, but I'll gladly warm it up with a torch, drain it and put something else in it.

Any input is appreciated!

Thanks

John
