ex Elly 197 Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Lithium grease on the drum. 3-in-1 oil on the pawls and teeth (no grease). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Why not put grease on the gears ?? I would have thought load the sucker up with grease. Oil would just run out and all over the place. Thanks Guys Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Black Panther 1,586 Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 The grease gets thick and full of gunk over time. Then the pawls jam open and your crew gets a broken wrist. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
