im gona put this out here cause I USE IT and cause IT WORKS
Its made by a company called TEXAS REFINERY CORPERATION (TRC)
I use the 880 c&c (880 crown and chassis) grease
Originally developed for the crown of a drilling rig and a truck chassis 880 c&c has proved itself to be the backbone of the TRC line of speciality lubercants. The "red grease with gold flakes" is a favorite nationwide... from industry to trucking 880 C&C meets the demand of a multi-purpose lubercant.
because of the pourposes for which it was originaly developed 880 C&C is especialy effictive for high presure applications. For example the crown of a drilling rig is expected to support the weight of 2 to 3 miles of drill pipe developing critical lubercant needs at contact areas.With a timkin ok load of 80 pounds minimum, 880 C&C meets special lubercant needs, providing the ultimate in extreme presure protection.
It's excelent for use on ball joints and fith wheels which are constantly placed under heavy loads.
what about WATER ?
we all know that water is impossible to stay away from at some point you WILL HAVE TO GET YOUR FEET WET.
However 880 C&C is Impervious to water, 880 C&C can be used in many places where a standard grade grease will wash off
"IT STAYS PUT" in the presence of moisture-an excelent grease on ROCK CRAWLERS which are in and out of water and mud many times .This type of application requires the special water resistant qualities of 880 C&C to keep the surfaces well lubericated avoiding rusting corroding and seizing.
880C&C is both adhesive and cohesive
The special "tackiness" addatives in the 880 make it a highly practial grease. its ability to stay put not only reduces grese consumption,but also provides outstanding protection against metal to metal contact it clings to metal, sealing out dust,moisture,rust and corrosion
HOW SAFE IS IT ?
Authorized by the agriculture,880 is aceptable for use in enclosed gear systems (in your front locking hubs) as well as in such facilities as federaly inspected meat and poultry packing plants.
An essential multi- pourpas grease 880 Crown and Chassis Grease will safely handal most luberication needs no matter if it turns slides or has an oscillating motion it can be used for all types of bearrings ball or roller high or low speed sealled or opened.
now the other product I run is called 890 VARIE-PURPOSE gear lubercant
890 V-P for short
TRC 890 V-Pis truly one of the finest gear oils obtainable.Through extensive research an advance base was selected to provide lasting and superiior performance under the toughest conditions 890 V-P cn be used where the more expensive high-addative gear oils havwe given unsatisfactory service. In addition ,890 V-P is authorized by the U.S Dept. of of Agriculture as a H2 lubericant
890 V-P the basic of the quality
890 V-P is formulated with top quality base stocks which are highly refined to remove any undiserable materials such as waxes and varnishes,THAT COULD BE DETRIMENTAL TO A GEAR SYSTEM. this adds to the protectivce film strenght of it.
890 V-P is very adhesive meaning it will cling tenaciuously to the gears, providing continouse lubercation,even in the presence of moisture. The cohesive property of 890 V-P is also important ... the gear lube will withstand extream pressure operating condition.
Low Non-Channeling Point
base stocks that are not as highly refines as this can cause problems in colder temperatures. Gear Oils with
thoses basic stocks can become so thick in cold weather that the oil loses its fluidity... WHATS THAT MEAN TO ME ? gear begin to run dry and metal to metal contact occures. 890 V-P assures a low non channeling point. YOU WILL NOT EXPERIENCE A DRY STARTUP AND SHIFTING WILL BE MUCH MUCH EASIER
what does it look like in color?
you will recieve several several advantages from TRC color coding 890 V-P bright red the chance of a wrong oil being used can can be virtualy eliminated... a leak can be easily traced (beleave me i know cause the seal might not get all the way good) and 890's color is a " LIFE"indicator. when the color changes from a red to a dark color it is usualy a indication that it is time to change the oil.
does this foam up like others ?
the answer to this is NO. Many conventional gear lubs begin to foam durring opperation, causing extensive problems. First if foam is present, the level of the gear oil drops and proper luberication is not achieved. Second,foaming will increase the temperature in the gear box considerably. special foam inhibitors are incorperated into 890 V-P to ensure dependable protection.in most instances, the temprature in a gear box can actualy be lowered with the use of 890 V-P (this means your gears will run cooler)
WHAT ABOUT WATER ?
moisture in a gear box can be detramental causing rust on the metal serfaces which will produce friction and excessive wear.Moisture present can be caused by condensation 890 V-P greatly exceds most gear oils in water sesistancy. A superb addative package does not allow 890 V-P to emulsify with water... it actualy "breaks away" from waterallowing the moisture to be drained from the gearbox as needed... adding protection against rust and corrosian!
