If the gearbox was full of water, then tear it down before you try to put power to it. Take the bearings and seals to a bearing shop or NAPA or some other reputable parts store. They should be able to find some numbers on them or at least measure them for replacements. I've never been inside an auger head, but I would guess that you are going to have 4 sets of bearings and races.

I would be surprised if there was any serious damage to the gears, but it is possible. I would try to clean up as much rust and corrosion inside the gear box as possible. After replacing bearings, races and seals, I would fill it up and run it for a little while and then drain and refill. I most certainly wouldn't try to run it for a couple of days without tearing it down if the pumpkin was full of water for any period of time.
