I presume you already looked at the manual (you have to go to the pages for your model - it is in there.
Thank you . Iam LOL . No I have not lokked at a manual, not until now thank you . I just looked at the operators manual that cam with it., that was one of my mistakes.I must be missing something obvious.Thank you for the manual I will need it. I was hoping to just grease the complete tractor when ever I was done with it. The manual has good pictures but I guess I have to remove the PTO shaft to grease it and adust the clutch. I will have to stare at it more figure out what I dont know. but the manual is definetly gooing to help thank you

On the PTO shaft greasing…
There are universal joints at both ends that need to be greased regularly but not too much. The plastic shield usually has some provisions that might let you see the grease nipples.
There is usually some plastic bearings at each end of the shaft that need to be greased. There are usually plastic grease nipples on the plastic shields.
Then you also need to grease the shaft that slides (longer and shorter).
For that you have to remove the plastic shield. So in the end you have to learn how the plastic shield is attached and how to disconnect the ends to get it off. There are usually plastic screw heads near where the plastic shield bells out near the ends of the shaft. These are not real screws but the head will rotate in a way to align with a hole and allow the plastic to move away from the yoke or clutch. I suggest you clean the plastic shield ends fairly well so you can then take pictures and post them and ask how to remove the shield. Or you can go to the tractor dealer and see if they can show you how on a new shaft.
You also need to learn how to remove the whole PTO shaft so you can take it to a workbench and work on it. This should be covered in the manual.
There are also hours and hours of You Tube videos that explain things about how the PTO shaft is cared for. Most are correct but some are not correct. So be careful and watch several videos before you do anything that is suggested.
