You should put your heart & soul into everything you do.

I bet the grease has long since dried out, I'd bung some 140 gear oil in there with it before use.

Will do. I've got some Penrite gear oil that I use in Model T Ford diffs. this stuff has the consistancy of golden syrup. You can put your finger in it, pull it out, and there is still a hole from where your finger was.
