The ones with a gear selector (not hydrostatic) usually are packed with grease instead of being filled with fluid.

John Deere Corn Head grease?

Is the grease that was in it flowable? If yes, 00 grease should work. Snapper 00 grease, John Deere cotton picker spindle grease is 00, and Tractor Supply stocks Super S Cotton Picker Spindle Grease 00. Super S would probably be the cheapest source that I know about.
