What do you have for lube in the gearcase? I see they spec Mobil 600W
which is still available in expensive 5gal or larger. From what I see it
doesn't have a "common" cross reference as it's listed for steam
applications, but it seems outside of steam compatibility it's
essentially SAE 140 weight gear oil so I'm wondering if some good Mobil
synthetic gear oil would be an adequate substitute that I can get in
quart size.

See Mobil SHC 634. It's a synthetic commonly used in small worm gears.
McMaster carries it in quarts.
