I ran my woods cadet MD184 7' single blade cutter without oil in the gearbox yesterday. I was going to check it before using it, but I was in too big a hurry. So it seized up, I assume from excessive heat. I was able to free it after it cooled, but when I put 90W oil in, it all immediately leaked out around the spindle. What's the repair? Can I just replace a seal at home, I probably don't have the equipment to replace a pressed in bearing, or does the gearbox need to be taken in for service? Life lesson #349. Thanks.

i've seen many a gearbox like that filled with bearing grease go another 20+ years with no other repairs.
i generally drill and tap fill plug for a zerk and give it a few squirts every day its used.

i did the same thing on my ransome. you can fix it yourself if your mechanically inclined. just make notes if you have to about what face this direction and what faces that. look for numbers on the bearings and seals and try not to tear them up any worse. any good auto repair parts place can get you bearigns and seals by just measuring them inside and out. so take you bearings, seals and races in to an auto or truck parts place, if you can't find a dealer to get the parts from.

It will have to be taken apart.Chances are you ruined everything in there.
