Bob Long Protege

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I had to replace the cup seal on my recently acquired Bob Long Protege.  It calls out for Dow 55 grease on the seal.  Anyone know where I can get this without ordering it?

I can get Dow 33, it seems the difference is Dow 33 doesn't swell the seals, Dow 55 does.  Does this really matter?

	I don't have first hand experience w/ a BL, but... if it calls for 33 use 33, if it calls for 55 use 55. There's a reason they want that seal to swell. If you haven't already, check to see if Compulsive has it.

	Perfect. That's what I was looking for, someone who knew something about them! Some of the forums I looked at were pretty much saying just grease it with anything and be done with it. I figured they have to be calling out 55 for a reason! Thanks for the help guys!
