So nothing broke and nobody got hurt the first time out. That doesn't necessarily you have a good safe machine. Just be CAREFUL. The shroud isn't going to protect you from much being worn paper thin and having holes torn in it as I recall. That's what it's there for.
So when you start up a rotary mower with swinging blades like this, the blades are going to swing until "centrifugal force" straightens them out. They're going to come in contact with each other. That is going to make a clunk noise or two or ten.
The goop in the gearbox is grease because the bottom seal leaks. It is most likely too worn to hold a seal for long so changing it is a waste of time. Keep an eye on the underside of the mower. Likely the stump jumper will fill with gear oil and coat the bottom next time you spin it up. Gun grease is fine because even though the gearbox isn't "properly" lubricated it will heat up, melt the grease, the grease will flow over the gears and bearings, and lubricate the gearbox.
Your blades are DULL. They must be blunt as baseball bats. Sharpen them. They don't have to be razor sharp, but at least have a consistent wedge shape along the cutting tip.
