Not sure how to advise, Darald. Maybe somebody else can jump in that know the older tractors.
First thing is to determine whether you have a pilot bushing or a pilot bearing. If a bushing, it doesn't usually take lubrication. YOu really don't want anything there that will accumulate dust or crud (that's what makes it stick and keep turning the driveshaft even with the clutch disengaged). The lubrication is achieved by using an allow (Oilite was one) that has low friction characteristics against steel, but is hard enough to not wear out quickly. If the problem is merely that it is sticky, then it means getting access to it to clean it and the front of the shaft. If excessively worn, it needs to be changed out.
That access is the trick. In the As and Bs, it means splitting the tractor behind the motor to get in there. On the tractors you describe, if they have an exposed driveshaft like the F-series, it MAY be possible to get to it without splitting, perhaps by removing the driveshaft, but again, I don't know. (I'm trying to be encouraging here.)
If it's a bearing (like Owen described) in your case, I should think there ought to be a lube point that would force out any old lube and the grit it picked up.
