When not knowing for sure and if the shafts have lip seals on them, it can be assumed oil is the preferred lube. Otherwise John Deere Cornhead grease can be used, especially in non shift motors with bushings on the shafts.
It can get a bit confusing as I’ve seen some gearcases marked ‘grease’ on the outside when I know they require oil. This might be because they were using old dyes while casting the cases and never updated them or referred to the heavy gear oil as grease.
