I just put some pourable grease & 90wt in the gearbox of my old Ford 917 flail as a seal started seeping. I paid $100 for the mower, new seals were going to be half what I paid for the mower.
Gearboxes on implements are not precision machines. As long as they have clean lube, they will run fine. Oil will lube a bit better, or at least get everywhere better, not to mention move easier (eat up less HP), but grease, especially pourable will get the job done just fine.
