think of the money you saved on not having to buy another tub of grease!...seems like the hardest thing on 3 wheelers is the jack asses that owned them before we get them

From what I've seen and read grease doesn't actually decrease braking it increases it in small amounts. Now in a large amount like such i'm not sure but aslong as it was easy to take take apart and the brakes most likely still worked i see no problem. A can of brake or carb cleaner would dissolve that mess in seconds. If you would like to see a lot of grease and ever have the chance to step into a landing gear well on a large plane your head would probably explode at the ridiculousness.
I know when a truck differential leak oil in the drum it can make the brake lock when the brake are used. But I don't know about grease...

Thats not gear oil; That is the worst educated owner I've seen. Go ahead, keep ruining parts.
Hasn't it got through to some people?? These machines are 25-30 years old and some need very little work to get them going again.
We are an elite group and your either the guy that wants a cheap trike up to some of us that spend 5K in parts to get our dream machine.
I think ATARI was popular at the same time the trikes were first made......
All our government does is distract us while they steal from us, misspend our tax $ and ruin our country
