Subject:Re: Question about lubing front shift linkage

I found my Fluid Film at the Canadian Tire in White Rock, BC. I've since
seen it at Lordco, and I'm pretty sure the original recommender said that it
was available at John Deere dealerships.

A simple Googling gets me to http://www.eurekafluidfilm.com/ where you'll
find both national and international dealer locators.
