I purchased a 1981 Snapper High-Vac push mower several years ago. I have Just now started to restore it. The gear box for the self-propel is dry, but moves freely. I have torn it down and cleaned all the parts. Getting ready to reassemble, but I just don't know what lubricant to use to fill the gearbox. Do I use Motor oil or Gear lube?

Welcome to the forum.
My 21" Snapper has been a solid performer since I got it new in 1985. There are a few parts remaining from the original machine.
Follow the instructions. That grease must be added to the level where manually moving the machine shows grease pumping over the gears.
