Old dogs can learn new tricks. I have never greased my hitch ball. Always wondered why folks had that black plastic cover or put a tennis ball on them. Asked a guy at home depot parking lot while helping him with some drywall. Been greasing my ball for two weeks now. Really does quite down things. Using dielectric grease cause that's what I have in a small tube . Just a little dab'll do ya.  |

I'm a ball greaser. Dab a little on there when I grease the trailer hubs. Keep it covered with a tennis ball.

I've recently taken up greasing my balls. Makes things much smoother and quieter. I did not appreciate the need for the tennis ball until my yellow lab grazed one of my greasy balls while chasing his toy...

I keep a black rubber cover on my balls and I don't grease them. I did once but got grease on me every time I hooked up or disconnected the trailer.
At my age, I prefer rusty balls over greasy balls.

The only balls I've greased was a young officer on exercise, it was his birthday so we staked him out and greased him. He didn't see the funny side for some reason and there was no chance of a shower for another week. Oh , y'all mean trailer ball hitches , never mind.  |

Me neither, I'm not a ball greaser myself, I do however grease the windup trailer jack, it has a grease zerk on it, I will at times spray a little WD40 inside the coupler mechanism, just for GP's....Juan that was funny...🤣 |
