Hello,
Does anyone know what would be the best grease to put on an old farm wagon with steel wheels? My father tells me that 70 years ago when he was a kid he can remember a couple times a year they would have to remove the wheels and apply a thick coat of grease on the skeins from a big bucket. He recalls it being pretty thick stuff. Even back then he tells me the wheels had quite a bit of play and did not fit all that tight on the skeins. I was told to be careful because in the summer the grease will run out and make a mess of things. This wagon will see minimal use but I may use it to haul pumpkins around from time to time. Any suggestions?
