[SEL] Economy moving parts

[Richard Strobel]

Hi Steve;
  This subject came up several years ago and what I use is Dry Spray Moly in 
a rattle can.  It seems to protect against rust yet lubricates, and can be 
somewhat polished up.  I usually spray it on a warm surface and let it dry 
for several hours before rubbing it with a soft cloth.  It will not rub off 
on you when polished and seems resistent to gas and oils used with the old 
engines, and can be removed with some of the stronger solvents.

I've used it on valve stems, gears, pushrods, and various other places. 
Her's some pix's of it on the sawrig:

Some people would like to try this on their squeaky trailer hitch balls and 
avoid the greasy mess.

  The bad news...I no longer know where to get it, but Spudhead is doing 
some research with the old work.
