Default Hytran or gear lube?

When I got my 122 the oil had leaked out a bad axle shaft seal. I replaced the seal. During the tear down I drained about 2 gallons of water and about a gallon of oil sludge out. Fortunately the water was fresh and no rust or visible damage. I put it all back together, not knowing any better, I filled it with some leftover, new, lower unit gear lube from our boat out drive. I am now wondering if it will be ok for awhile??? I only use it for playing and pulling a yard cart with the kids. Should I be worried about damage??? I have to pull it apart sometime in the near future, it is popping out of reverse when I back my big trailer up the drive. I need to check the shifter fork/gear wear. That would be an opportunity to change the lube. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Sorry to be another seemingly question. Thank you

I can't imagine you would do any damage to the gear drive using that lube. After all it is only steel gears. As long as the lube you used is compatible with the axle seals you should be allright.

Kelly is right. It's just a gearbox. Hydraulic transmission fluid can be purchased at any parts or farm supply store, and if you ever get another cub with a hydrostat trans, there is really no need to run two different oils. Choice is yours, either is fine.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
