New Holland Haybine 489

Ok folks needing a little help here.
I've got a 489 that's been sitting in the pasture for the last 3 years. Used one time back then just to see if it worked and it did. Well this year I've bought a baler and plan on doing my own hay. So I brought the Haybine up yesterday to grease all the fittings and check the oil in the gear boxes and that's where the needed help comes in.
No Manuel but I have one ordered. So I check the lower fittings and as expected no oil comes out on the box to the left went to check the other box and when I unscrewed the fittings it let out air and no oil. Removed the fill plug and instead of oil it looks like grease in it. Is this normal to use grease in a gear box ?? Thanks folks
 
Thin (almost oil) grease like Corn Head grease will be fine. It remains fluid enough to stay in the
gears, and mix with what ever oil/grease is already in there. if in doubt, drain rinse and replace
it. Jim
 
the sound of air rushing in or out indicates a plugged gear box vent i would start with checking and cleaning the vents first. then putting in gear
oil. tf the vents are plugged when the oil heats up it will push out whatever is in there. i have used a product from farm oyl call fluid gear grease
it is thinner than grease and thicker than gear oil works real well for me
