I scored a little of this stuff - Chesterton 601 Chain Drive Pin
Bushing Lubricant (says "Industrial use only" on the can).
http://www.chesterton.com/ENU/Products/Pages/Product.aspx?ProductLine=TPD&Category=Greases+and+Lubricants&ModelID `1
A friend of mine works as a pressman for one of the big newspapers in
the area - this is the stuff they use to lube up the chain-drives on
those enormous press machines.
It was pretty impressive - I had already scrubbed my snowblower drive
chain clean, and had washed it out several times with PB blaster and
WD40 until it was clean inside and out, or so I thought. I could
still feel a little grit when I spun the rollers, but figured that
would work its way out soon enough once I got the chain running and re-
lubed. After hosing it down with this 601 stuff, I hung the chain up
and put a pan under it to catch the lube drippings. As the residue
dribbled down, the color of the drips slowly changed from a clear to
completely black. It seems to have dissolved and displaced all kinds
of hidden ick that must've been trapped inside the rollers. It looks
like really-really good stuff. I figure a couple of more shots once I
get the chain running will have the thing like new.
Unfortunately, the can I got only had a little bit in it - just enough
for a couple of squirt-downs - I'm saving the last dribble for a last
squirt once the chain is mounted. What with the industrial use
caveat, my understanding that that the stuff is basically unobtainium
- it that's true, I need to find a reliable grey/black market source.

Pisser. OTOH, I hope that's for a 6-pack.
