It's not the products, it's that every dealer I ever tried buying from seemed intent upon me becoming a dealer to help them get to the next level in the multi-level marketing scheme. I guess I'm just a cranky old cuss like that.
I use the Motorex Chain lube I have hanging around from my motorcycle, for open gears. For rust preventive coating I have a can of the Sprayon 711 stuff. At about $5.00 a can I can afford to use it liberally.

These threads are like getting onto car/truck enthusiast sites and asking about "what oil, filter, tire, battery" is best.
Pay $30 for a year membership, which makes you a dealer. Save it on one medium or two small orders, when compared to what the dealer sells it to you for. I've been a dealer for 10 years and have never tried to sell anyone anything. My Case 680CK blew a crankshaft balancer when running Amsoil synthetic oil. I drove it for 6 minutes with zero oil pressure to get it into the garage where it could be torn down. When it was torn down, there was zero damage to the crankshaft and no spun bearings.
I was skeptical about Amsoil products until then.
