No, it does not take gear oil, which will leak out almost as fast as you put it in. It takes "Outboard Motor Gear Grease"—no longer made. Most people here use Lubriplate 105, sold at NAPA Auto Parts Stores as "Motor Assembly Grease", OR "Corn Head Grease" sold by John Deere Dealers. Personally, I prefer the Lubriplate simply because it comes in a handy squeeze tube. There is a large grease plug on one side and a small screw-looking vent screw on the other side. Squeeze the grease in the big one till it comes out the small one.
Most of us make our own shear pins.
You seem determined to remove the gas tank. Go ahead and do it if you want. But all you have to do is unscrew the fitting from it.
