ok people need some help here, simplicity 1224l snowblower gear case is leaking i checked and one of the rubber seals on the auger shaft is coming out is it just a matter of pushing it back in and do i have to remove to do it, and what can i use in the gearcase since i'm having no luck finding benalene grease? thanks in advance.

thanks trouts you have been very helpfull! unfortunately i cant bring it back as the dealer went out of business, the leak it seems is coming from the seal and i will try to push it back in, can you recomend an oil or grease to use, i have some synthetic gear oil would that be acceptable?

The oils and greases for snowblower gearboxes are EP rated, extra pressure. I would and do go by Snowmann’s recommendations posted above. I have 4 bottles of Ariens L3I use for gearboxes. If a gearbox will hold the oil I use L3, if not then a good EP rated paste grease from a snowblower place.
