I wouldn't drive anywhere without lube on bearings. They will become welded to the race and axle if they get very hot.
Put the thickest gear oil you can find in it. Drive slow and check temp often.
Eta- pack the bearings with grease if you really need to get down the road. There are some greases that will work in that application. I had a bush hog that had a leaking gear box. Put some grease in it and it lasted years like that. I wouldn't use that as a permanent solution in your case. By it will get you down the road if you really need to.
