Thanks, Bob. I didn=E2=80=99t want to hijack the thread, so I changed the su=
bject line, just in case anyone else was interested in the topic.=20
Cornhead grease was recently suggested on the Alpine forum, probably by some=
one who owns an Alpine and a Healey. In fact, I found the cotton picker oil w=
hile looking for cornhead grease. Besides being more readily available, at l=
east if you have a Tractor Supply nearby, it is just slightly thinner than t=
he grease, which might make it easier to get in the box but still thick enou=
gh not to leak out. I won=E2=80=99t know until I try it, and that might be a=
while. This is pretty low on my to do list right now; I just bought it beca=
use I was in the vicinity of a TS store, something that doesn=E2=80=99t happ=
en all that often.=20
