Default Hardened track pins.

So would I need to lube the new hardened track pins. If I use oil or use other products dirt will stick I them. If I leave them dry they will where the track shoes out faster then I want. Anyone?

They are supposed to run dry.
I think graphite would be impractical unless you could drive your carrier through it. :-)
Too hard to get in there. The graphite (carbon) is in the iron already.
