That stuff is still around? Wow used to have the guys come around peddling it. It is a decent lubricant and it has canola oil in it too I think. Think it has a shelf life. If you leave it for several years it turns to sludge but otherwise not bad.

I use the gear max in sprayer hubs and bogie wheels. Does it work?
I have no clue but 4L lasts for a long time and it makes me feel better.

years ago we had a 4750 versatile. swather . there was a gearbox on it that would get so hot it would almost boil the oil . we put power up in and after that you could hold your hand on it ! it works ! bought a knife drive for a case header from combine world . they sent the new knife drive with power up to be added before the oil on a brand new case

Like caseih, we've seen a noticeable difference in temp when we've used it in gearboxes. Most noticeable was in a 7721 we had. The driveline gearbox would get hot enough that you couldn't put your hand on it. Put some Powerup in it, and it never ran that hot again. I'm guessing at least 20-30F less.

We use the grease, fuel conditioner and the Gear Max additive. We have 2 older trucks that custom grain haul, and since we started using the grease, we haven't replaced a u-joint, king/shackle pin, or part of the steering linkage. Same with our farm machinery. We've had less trouble with anything greaseable since we've used Powerup grease. And no, we don't run new equipment.

Fuel conditioner may be more of a toss up, but for me its more for piece of mind. I can't claim that it will help you get better fuel economy, since its been so long since we haven't used it and tested it without, but we've had very minor fuel related trouble in any of our equipment.

Were thinking of using it in the 4045 system for the less heat. I think it works.
