Lubricating a Series

Trying to get my old girl on the road again, previous owner(s) neglected lubricating her ...
What type of lubrication grease/oil should I put where and how much?
How-to tips would be really handy too!
What would be their maintenance frequency?
Engine is sorted but it's the rest I've no prior experience with.
- front & rear axle
- front axle steering ball joints
- manual FWH
- gearbox
- transfer case
- prop shaft
- steering linkages
- steering box
- is there more?
Thanks.

- front & rear axle SAE90 gear oil
- front axle steering ball joints ball joints use a grease gun or if you mean the swivel housings I think they take SAE90 gear oil (been over 20 years since I had a landy?)
- manual FWH Grease
- gearbox SAE90 gear oil
- transfer case SAE90 gear oil
- prop shaft grease gun
- steering linkages ball joints? grease gun
- steering box probably SAE90 gear oil..... dunno?
- is there more? there is if you can find anything else
Thanks.

(Yes, anything less than a 90 oil will leak out the seals once warmed, if you've got leaky seals, I think it was in a series 3 I used to be able to undo the seal and rotate 90 degrees and retighten a less-worn part of the seal lowermost)

Umm, is that a PTO on the back?? Never seen a factory one (or any other) on the back like that. Isn't that where that hole in the back bumper is used for?

They put a pto drive that could be run to the rear of the wagon, was aimed at the farmers who would use it instead of a tractor for driving farm machinery etc

Should have put more horse power at the end of it for that.
