[TR] TR2/3 lubrication questions

[Foster, Stan (HP IT)]

The other thing I wonder about is the path that the lube has to take. It needs
to go down through the vertical link to the bottom of the trunnion and then
wend its way back up the thread. I imagine gear oil can do that easily,
unclear to me how well grease performs at the same task so I stick with a shot
of gear oil a couple of times a year. My trunnions don't leak however.

That's the key.  Grease used to harden in trunnions, leading to failure.
Modern greases tend to stay greasy, so they should be OK.  I used oil anyway
in the TR4 because I was already set up for it.

I guess I can repurpose that gun now...
