It is getting so that I buy near everything on-line. That because it gets more and more difficult to find what I need locally.
Yesterday? Gee wiz. All I needed was some grease with the special molybdenum disulphide anti-wear additive.
Same grease International Harvester used to update tractors with splined-shaft wear problems.
It is the standard grease used in a ga-zillion cars and trucks.
I am near the city of Alpena right now. I went to every auto-part store here. I got the "deer in the headlights" look at each one. I also had one young parts "expert" try to give me a bogus lubrication tutorial just to prove to me how much he did not know.
I went to Autozone, NAPA, Carquest, Advance, O'Riellys and one private store. Nobody at any of those stores knew what the heck I was asking for even though they all show it on their Websites. I finally found one little packet at Autozone for $1.99 and it was like pulling teeth. Advance said they could order it and wanted near $6 or the same thing. NAPA offered to open a box with a CV boot kit and rob a packet out of it for $4. Same as the $1.99 packet from Autozone.
So I am kind of astounded. What the heck happened? I also noticed that all the grease I got to see - came from England. Not the US, not Mexico, and not China.
