I've heard old timers talk about using sawdust.

Gives a delicious porridge smell as you drive! Bananas were another urban myth, might smell even better!
The 160 weight oil used quiet and reduce leaks long enough to sell it!

Yup, same sort of thing ...
Takes up the 'slack' so to speak ...

Can't do it on these new-fangled contraptions of course ...

Do they not need 'splash' onto the upper pin for lube ?
As they don't have CV joints as such, but Tracta Joints up to '53 ? I fink ...

Mines an early series 2 and does not have the rialko set up just a large spring and a cone, but yes they are always nicely covered in grease, not been any issues at all in over 5 years.
Im not really sure how the drive shaft u/js get their lube as they still have the standard rubber u/j seals fitted to everyday props, so no oil or grease can get in there.
