CV joint grease - driveshaft upgrade?
I'm getting ready to install a CV joint driveshaft upgrade on my diesel. Automotive CV joints typically spec greases with more pressure/wear additives than common chassis grease. Not sure it matters on something that will see far less use than a car. I don't want to clean out the existing bearing/chassis grease and replace it with CV-specific grease unless I really need to, but if I should, now's the time to do it. Anybody think it really matters on a garden tractor???
thanks!

I use Mobil 1 grease on everything. Use CV joint grease if it makes you happy.

Not a big deal to clean and repack the CV joints especially if you have not installed them on the tractor. Maybe an hour tops.
I would do it. The diesels are harder on the drive lines.

I would agree with Cub Diesel, not hard to clean em up and repack.
More than likely a bunch of cruddy stuff in there. I have been packing them with good old wheel bearing grease, stiff stuff. Have had no trouble at all. It satisfies the Nerdy side of me to know that there is no grime in them and the grease is new. Ken

You guys do know that the Cub CV drive shafts have grease fittings so it only takes a couple minutes to grease them don't you?

Mine had no grease fitting as the PO had broken them off. It has them
now and I still like knowing it's clean grease being put in clean CV joints. Ken

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
