 ..like him the motor mower is old, but still going strong. Now 'Molybond' may not exist today but hell he used it all the time...  .. even in the diff and the gearboxes... 
Alvin, don't forget to do the filter and fill it with oil as you put the new one on. Then I'll bring my car over and you can do it also..

The Molybond that your father would have used contains Molybdenum Disulphide (sp?), when mixed with oil it's kind of like liquid teflon. You use Moly grease on bearings and cam lobes when assembling a motor - very slippery stuff...
I just went to the cupboard and found a container of Molybond powder. We use it on the plastic magazines of the Steyr - it's very handy stuff to have around....
It's still available too I think, though with oil technology these days there wouldn't be much call for it's use.
