Any recommendations for greasing my tanks.

Is that true? Appreciate if you guys could share a little bit on this subject. Cheers.

I use Mobile 1 red synthetic wheel bearing grease in my gearboxes. They run butter smooth. I have also used 20/50 synthetic motor oil in my gearboxes. It too worked well but needs to be reapplied more often. The road axles shafts can be greased/oiled but you will collect more dirt on them. It is a win loose issues, it helps, but also increase the need for additional maintenance/cleaning depending on how much dust, dirt, mud and sand you run in.
