Lionel 773 grease box
Posted by Frank GG-1 on Saturday, March 26, 2011 2:23 PM

Looking for advice:  My 773 (circa 1950) has a grease box underneath. None of my other locomotives have this and I don't have the 773 instructions. When I remove the screw do I fill the compartment completely with grease? I always heed warnings not to over-lubricate, but in this case I don't know what to do.

Your answer can be found HERE.

I would(and I do) substitute a modern synthetic like Lucas Red 'N' Tacky #2 for the Lionel lubricant specified, though.
