Its a 6 ft, 3 blade mower, made in Italy. Gear box has not been changed is some years and I forget what weight oil to use. I'm thinkig something like 80-90 but not sure.

I think that an internet search could be your best friend & best success for information.
Putting in more information for you specific mower & gearbox would be the key for finding your answer.
Unless some here has your specific equipment or a great level of knowledge of your unit(which you didn't mention), along with the owner's manual, you'll never know.

My old Bush hog leaked so much gear oil I just stuffed it full 00 grease.
Refer to your owner's manual, if you have one, to see what weight gear lube yours takes. I'm sure just about anything you could grab off the shelf is better than what's in it right now.

Post a pic of the gearbox? Make / model?
isn't this what corn head grease is for? solid but liquifies in use, i think?
My finish mower calls for 80w90, I’ve been using 75w90 because that is what I had on the shelf.
As far as your application, pretty much any type of gear lube will work.
Thanks guys for the feedback.
