Deuce Lube Order, LO 9-2320-209-12

[WillWagner]

I've seen a bunch of threads about lubing these pigs, I have a LO and was gonna scan it and put up, but, there is one buried in the Deuce TM section. It isn't titled LO, it is on page 2 near the bottom under "Deuce TMs". I will put a link here and sticky it for ease of reference.

12-1 doesn't cover the OA331 gasoline engine.

They were not writing LO's that early, it was included in what passed for the -10 manual.

The biggest difference between the gas jobs and what followed would be the presence of grease cups on the distributor and the water pump. The ones on the chassis: drive shafts, steering etc will be the same.

What is the preferred lubricant? I have a tube of red n tacky I'd like to use .

Just use what you would use on your pick up when servicing. Grease has evolved. I like to use the red stuff from Valvoline.

I like that stuff too. There was this green goo we used in the transit department that had what was like "strings" through it. Really good stuff. Never could find it in the aftermarket though. It could handle extreme heat and cold. It took forever to wash off bearings too. You had to leave the bearings in brake cleaner for hours, then use the "steam cleaner" to finish the job. The stuff would not wash off. We never lost a bearing using this "green goo" . That was our name for it in the shop. The Green Goo.

Do you think that may be similar to aviation grease they use on planes?

I don't know. All I do know is this stuff was expensive and it came in a 35 gallon drum. Wish now that I had asked what the name was and were could I buy some.
