While you have the driveshaft cover removed for a look, might as well remove the driveshaft. Disassemble, clean, inspect and grease the CV joints. A few squirts in the zerks probably won't help much if never serviced.
The PTO bearing will screech. Use an impact air wrench to remove the bolt at the crankshaft. A fine pick will remove the seal to allow the bearing to be greased. Use a high temp grease.
