John,
I don't know the capacity of your TX455 gearbox but it would not be over
one quart.
My HDX589 gearbox takes exactly one quart.
As you probably already know it is important to flush the old gear lube
out with
the synthetic lube you are going to use. The original lube and the
synthetic are
not compatible. I would order two quarts. That should work fine for
flush and fill.
Here's a supplier that I have used.

I was reading with interest the explanations of the lube needed for US
Towers. My TX455 has been up for five years now and, while I have lubed the
grease fittings regularly, I've never changed the oil. I want to do this now
using SHC630 as K6UJ noted. However, before I order this, how much would you
recommend I order? Would 2 quarts be enough to both flush the gear assemble
and refill it? I'd hate to have too little on hand after draining.
Thanks for your help.
