Apparently there isn't anyone with an opinion on this subject. For future reference, there is, indeed a small amount of side play in the interface between the driveshaft yoke and the splined input shaft to the mfwd of the JD955. I was able to locate a new shaft, and compared the play in it,as compared to the play in the one on my tractor. Personally, I feel there is enough play to warrant a high pressure lubricant such as never sieze, but the service manual doesn't call for anything.

Thanks for the input! To be on the safe side, I think I will use synthetic motor oil, a block & a battery heater, plus I understand that JD has a transmission heater for the 955 (no starter fluid). I will let you know how it went,in the spring of next year.
