Check out the house lube used on excavators. It is used on the external gears that rotate the top or 'house' of an excavator. Heavy equipment places will have it. I always thought they were only lubed by rear diff fluid, and that sticky grease was only 38 year old gear lube, not sure if they were packed with anything, good question.
