Yes, look harder.

There are not any.
Only on the prop shafts.

I use Green Grease from Tractor Supply, if they are out of that I use any other farm implement grease.
basically anything with a good water and dirt resistance to it.
If its good enough for the guy making his living working 7 days a week in all kinds of weather its good enough for me.

The hubs are totally greasable, you just have to remove them to gain access.

I like the Lucas Red. That stuff seems to last forever.
