1920's-30's lower unit grease what and where to buy?

[wanderlustjake]

Greetings,

What is everyone using for lower unit lube in their 20’s and 30’s era Johnson’s?
I see Lubriplate 105 is recommended, but noted that it may not be heavy enough? What would be the next step if that doesn’t stay put?
I had to order the Lubriplate from my local O’Reilly autoparts. I remember being able to get it off the shelf, granted years ago. What is a good source?

Thank You

If not the 105, most folks use Corn Head Grease from John Deere. Another source is Cotton Picker Spindle Grease from Tractor Supply.

Lubriplate 105 is also sold by NAPA stores in a tube labeled “Motor Assembly Grease’

A "Boathouse Repair" is one that done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.
