however many riding lawnmowers and similar equipment use grease in the trans, not oil. I wasn't expecting that the first time I came across it.

Yeah, some jackass pumped the rear end of one of my tractors full of grease... medium duty garden tractor (Gilson 12HP), it was leaking oil out the transaxle case, so instead of sealing it up properly, he drilled a hole, put in a Zerk fitting, and pumped 'er full of blue grease. Dumbass. He pulled a trailer with it, and popped the case open from the heat buildup and pressure that the grease couldn't dissipate like oil would. I got that tractor for like $40 with a good 12HP Tecumseh motor.

I'd like to think that people might open their eyes at some point... instead, I find it more and more likely that I'll just close mine.
