Greasing my Argo

Grease Gun with Pistol Grip

I ran remote lines to all the bearings on my conquest when I had it. I drilled and tapped the bearing flanges, sealed all the flanges together with RTV grease, and used 1/8" pipe fittings and small air brake line to build the lines. I ran everything into the engine bay, so it was super simple to grease.

sounds like a good idea, so what you're saying is there are no more zerks on the outside. You moved them all to the inside?

Headed out to buy a cordless power grease gun today.
Is there a particular grease that can recommended?
The "red grease" I buy at my local TSC gets very stiff at cold temps (above freezing) & will boil out of the gun & zerks on my various equipment during the summer months in my shop.
With the Argo having so many grease zerks & moving parts, I don't want to skimp on the grease.

Also has anyone ran remotes on the Argo or other AATV for easier greasing?

Which Brand of Grease did you get at TC?

I ended up buying the marine grease "green in color" & a pistol grip style grease gun with a 24" flexible extension.
Made getting to all the grease fittings on my Vanguard II relatively easy with two hands.

The red grease I have may have come from work, some generic bulk stuff they buy for all the equipment.
Feels like glue in our moderate cold temps, & almost liquefies above 80....junk.

Just make sure the grease is compatible with what is in your machine (check a compatibility chart). An incompatible grease will result in it rapidly degrading and running out usually wrecking the bearing.

Also, I would use a hand grease gun, that allows you to feel when you start to pressure up which prevents blown seals which also leads to wrecked bearings.

Glad you like that grease gun. I got turned on to them when I used to fly a helicopter.
