Saw this on Reddit and owner was asking the best way to get the mower deck off the 3 pt. A tad of grease may have been helpful before it got this bad.

I'd remove pin from deck, toss the pin/arm combo in hot oil overnight,then whack pin out of arm with 2# hammer.

I sprayed all mine down today once I was done mowing with some dry lube. All the dust seems to just love that grease, I don't notice the dust on it with the dry lube.
