I thought I read something about replacing the 90w oil in a gearbox with a light weight grease. Has anyone tried it on their brush hog (or other attachment gearbox)?
The gearbox is on a seeder so there's no downward facing shaft. Everything inside looks fine and it spins very smoothly but the oil had leaked out. I bought it cheap because it had been stored incorrectly and water rusted out part of the hopper so I'm guessing that's when the oil leaked out as well. I'll use it for occasionally spreading sand in the winter. I'm not a big fan of grease in cold temperatures. But I would rather not find out the hard way that the oil leaked out and destroyed the gearbox.
