Grease and lubrication choices

Hello all. Just having purchased a new snow blower and being not all that mechanically inclined (not alot of grease in the garage) I was wondering where to apply, what types and what brand names of greases and lubricants that I should use before I put the machine into service to ensure proper operation and longevity. I have a Simplicity 1428E (from dealer and "set up" by him) and was hoping to be able to pick the materials up at a local store so please try to keep the products as common as possible. Any other tips regarding a pre-start check list would be appreciated. Do not be afraid to go slow and dull it down for me as you will not be insulting. Thanks for your comments. Cannuck |

+1 I use the same Amsoil grease I use on the sleds. Wouldn't a good snowmobile or marine grease pretty much get the job done? Been working for me for many, many years. Never had a lube/corrosion problem yet providing I put the grease to it soon enough.

Which grease would be better? The Timken Blue, or the Amsoil Water Resistant?
