Not sure what kind of PTO you're referring to, but if it's a mechanical one I don't think it's supposed to have grease in it at all! Heck, I don't think electric ones should either!

Clean and dry.
It's a friction device.
If it is greasy you must have an engine oil leak nearby or the bearing is about to give up the ghost.

There is NO lubrication for a PTO, regardless if it is NF or WF, Mechanical or Electric.

Personally, I'd just replace the bearing....I've been known to regrease bearings but not this one.

Not familiar with your PTO. But a ball bearing can be re-lubed by using a Diabetic syringe filled with grease, injected under the seal lip.
Been doing it on old farm machinery for over 60 years. And the PTO bearings on my cubs. Yep I'm thrifty and it works.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
