NEW Ridgid 18V Grease Gun R860454B - I've been using the WRONG grease!

All grease is not created equal. I've been using the incorrect grease in my John Deere front end loader and Takeuchi TB235-2 mini excavator. I've been using the grease designed for mower decks and high-speed bearings, and not grease designed for heavy equipment pins. I've corrected that by purchasing the Ridgid R860454B 18-volt grease gun, and proper heavy equipment grease from Amsoil.

This Amsoil grease is perfect for excavator and loader use because is has strong adhesion and cohesion properties, which are required for pin and bushing pivots. Because of these properties, this grease is not able to be used in ball or roller bearings.
