    Quick question - can someone please tell me what type of oil goes into the chain housing of a rotovator and what type oil goes into the gearbox also ?

    Chain oil, good tacky stuff for the chain housing, and gear oil, probably 80w90 for the gearbox.

    I’m almost certain it’s liquid grease goes into the chain housing.
    80/90 for the gearbox.

    Dawg could be on the ball with the chain housing. It's years since I had anything to do with a rotavator. Thankfully.....

    Is it normal for the chain housing cover on a rotovator to get quite hot during operation ?
    There's plenty of oil/grease in it BTW.
