Yes, there's different weights of grease. There's at least 3 that i know of (EP 0, EP 1 and EP 2) with 2 being heaviest. Then there's different formulations and additives, etc. I think you may find that using only one grease for everythign doesn't quite fit. I've started using a Moly EP2 on pins and bushings. It seems to work well, but I wouldn't put that in a bearing. In the past I've used a couple of differnent EP2 Lithium complex greases that have high cling and high Timken load ratings. Those are not greases that you want in a grease system, bearing or any other tight channel. I find that they plug the nipples and bearings. The stuff just solidifies in there... so I've gone back to using a very basic EP2 lithium general purpose grease on bearings and other high speed parts and the EP2 Moly on pins. IN the cold weather I'll probably have to give up on the Moly because the EP2 won't pump unless I can get something lighter. If you've got grease flying around, use a bit less... or don't worry about it.

Still another is the alternator. No doubt using the original generator keeps the tractor pure, but for thos
