I've just bought one with no manual and I want to change the gear oil. Is
it just regular 90 wt or something more exotic.

My horse specifies straight 90 or 140-weight. Nothing goes very fast in
there... Troy Bilt always used to guarantee a user's manual to any current
owner; don't know if MTD (is it?) will continue that, but it's worth a try.
For another poster: The engine book won't help; we're talking about the
gearbox that powers wheels and tines.
Ah for the days when I could just drive less than hour over to Troy and get
parts off the shelf...
