Toro 1987 521. What Type of lube for the gearbox -Wormgear ?
Original Message   Sep 29, 2008 1:54 pm
Is the gearbox supposed to use a 90 Weight oil or grease?  I took the plug out expecting to be a 90 Weight oil and it looks lie it is grease in there ?  To my confusion I looked at a manual for the Toro Powershift and this is what it stated..

Lubrication is supplied by an SAE 90 weight extreme
pressure (EP) gear oil with an API rating of GL-5 or GL-6.
This is necessary because of the temperatures and
pressures provided by a worm helical gear arrange-
ment. Do not use Lubriplate(R) Mag 1 grease in the auger gear box

You don't have a power shift model you have a small frame unit the correct grease is Lubriplate(R) Mag 1 grease for your unit.
