Hello all. I'm helping a friend with a Ponsell Floor Machine. It has a 1/2 hp motor with about 1700 rpms. I took the top cap off where the gears are located and the black arrow is pointing. I don't know how much oil goes back in but there is none in there exposing the gears. What type of oil goes in there? Thanks in advance.

It seems that they're still in business - have you tried calling them?

A call to the number says it is no longer in service.

Might not be ideal, but 140w gear lube would certainly be better than nothing.

most old gear boxes use 80-wt mineral oil or sometimes 40 wt but like the last guy said oil is better than no oil, (grease is cheaper than steal)….
