It uses lithium grease like mine, 90wt might work. Mine is an 845 GT model number 146S845H088 it has a High/low like his only difference is mine has 18.5 hp in it.
32 oz of Shell Darina grease if it's the same as Mtd Snow Plow's. DO NOT USE 90Wt.

Thanks how do you put it to the tranny?It uses lithium grease like mine, 90wt might work. Mine is an 845 GT model number 146S845H088 it has a High/low like his only difference is mine has 18.5 hp in it.
I belive you have to open it up or there is a small rubber seal on the top, you can take that out and fill it up, but you should drain the old grease out. I've never done it but I think I might give it a try.Thanks how do you put it to the tranny?
Here is a diagram of the transmission http://www.partstree.com/parts/?lc=mtd&mn=146S845H088+%28TMO-3399006%29+%281996%29&dn=01120000005
Shell Darina grease is more akin to a 300 weight gear oil, so 90 weight is way out of the picture.32 oz of Shell Darina grease if it's the same as Mtd Snow Plow's. DO NOT USE 90Wt.
Shell Dalrina will be hard to find; it's basically like a lithium grease except with clay instead of lithium. I'm sure any marine-grade grease would be fine, or at least that's what I used in mine.
I posted a note over in Don's Synthetics to see what he carries Amsoil wise which might be a good substitute.
Thanks for the replies guys maybe i'll wait and see how mtd snow plow makes out:thThumbsU I'll take a closer look at this weekend.
