So would that gearbox probably have come off a CW snow thrower or older tiller? I've only ever been around my snow thrower and a handful of others so I'm just trying to learn more about them too.

The snow thrower and tiller gear boxes are the same castings or housings if you prefer, but the gears are a different tooth count to make the ratio's different.
so if the thrower works properly, it prolly is a thrower gear box ratio.
During the last 40 some years, anyone could of swapped/switched/replaced gear boxes.
Any time you can get a good set of gears or box, snag it as the gears are NLA.
They are worth a $100 give take depending on the season.
Not a nice thing when yer up to yer ass in snow on a Zero degree day, and the auger tries to swaller the neighbor kids tricycle or your see-ment block you used as a jack stand last june and just left on the side of the walk around the garage.
All of a sudden the auger quits turning and yer gear box needs an orthodontist to replace some teeth inside that are not available.
As they say,
da roof no leakie on a sunny day
