The tree huggers have defanged anything that actually works in the name of "protecting the environment", so you have to get creative with the stuff they haven't gotten around to banning- - - -yet! Try finding some "white lead" these days to use as a dead center lubricant on a lathe or a gear tooth contact pattern indicator when setting up a rear end ring and pinion sometime! The 5 pound can of Dutch Boy white lead that I bought on Ebay is about a three lifetimes' supply for me, fortunately! Jerry
