Rear axle grease fitting

[wingerdinger]

I had posterd on another thread (also about those chaged axle bearings) a couple of weeks or so ago, that I had bought 4 of the tubs of that SL-3131 at a local auto parts store up in the next town away. Before I bought my 4 the warehouse listed they had 16 of those tubs.

Hi, could you please tell me the place where you found the SL-3131 grease? I would like to contact them.
I am having no luck finding it.

Ford did stop using them around 39 by plugging the holes, but then restarted use about 41. Note the rear bearing take a long fiber, heavy duty, drum brake grease not chassis grease.

My '40 Tudor Sedan has the grease fittings at the outer ends of the axle. Just greased them last Friday. Best I can tell, it's the original axle that came in the car along with the transmission which bears the same serial number as the chassis. From what I can tell, my car was built in June of 1940.
