Is there a preferred / recommended lubricant for the various exposed pivot points (linkage pins, etc), that doesn't stay wet and attract dirt/ debris.
I've read of some that claim to be a dry film lubricant and protect against rusting but thought members here may have suggestions on what has or hasn't worked for them.
Hoping for something that works and doesn't need re-applying every use.
Aerosol is preferred due to the location of some of them
Thanks 🍻

I use a lot of Fluid Film® around my place. Tallow based, it leaves a soft coating that both lubricates and deters rust. I also use it on my snow blower chutes and the underside of my mower's deck.

Thanks for the reply . Reading a bit on it, I'm assuming it stays tacky which would attract dirt dust, clippings etc. 🤔 yes or am I mistaken?

It does stay soft, but not particularly tacky. Grass doesn't stick to the deck where it's sprayed. Snow doesn't stick to the shovel or the blower chute, either.
