I went with the recommended MAG-1 lube. It is not a regular maintenance item on mine, so was only changed because I opened the gearbox for curiosity. Not a place I wanted to go cheap.
Just use 80/90 Non syn Gear oil. the seals will not hold the syn stuff. When I first read this. I was half past DEAD to the world. thought you were looking for a Hylomar replacement. k:k:k:k:k:k:k:
I have a craftsman 10/33 tracked machine from the mid 1980s
The auger box is less and cant be sealed properly.. anything thinner than grease runs out and makes an awful mess..so I flushed it with diesel fuel and added a grease nipple.. then I filled it with Yamaha snowmobile grease.. and since the seals leak.anyway I jump pump it till the grease starts to come past the seal.. I filled it the first time with the fill/drain plug removed.. to make sire it was full.. been running fine for over 5 years and no more leaks
