Heeeeeeeeeere we go!

80W-90 (or 85W-90, or 90W-140, etc.) gear oil works fine, if the box is 
well-sealed (fresh bush and seal).  If not, 
Penrite steering box lube has been recommended, as well as a John Deere tractor 
grease whose name escapes me.  Have seen 
STP recommended as well.

IMO, use gear oil unless the box leaks badly.
