I thought it was strange that Poulan did not
mention any lubrication maintenance for the
gear box on my self-propelled lawnmower.
So, I called the dealer. He said it definitely
should have a special grease and needs to be
refilled like once a year. "Do you have the
'special grease'", I asked ? "Yes."
So, I went by his shop. It was $4.95 for
a 9 oz. tube.
I've never heard of it. It's called "EP-00".
This particular brand says "Super Lube 00 Grease"
and is made by American Lubricating Company,
Memphis.
The end-cap on the tube has a pointed end
that fit nicely in the little opening on the
top of the gear box. It took about 2 oz. for
a refill, and the job was done. This particular
gear box probably only holds 2 1/2 oz., so
it was definitely very low.
(Thought this might cover an oversight in
someone else's owner's manual.)
