The driveshafts are indeed nested, you'll see that if you have to split the tractor some day. You can't see the inner shaft until you get to the last few inches that go through the flywheel.
Clutch discs swell a bit as they cool down. That's why yours creeps/grabs when cold, but not after the discs have warmed up some. A properly adjusted clutchpack operates the same, cold or hot. So before you wear your brain out speculating, you should adjust the clutchpack. Pretty sure the procedure is in the owner manual, as are the gap specs. My manuals went with the tractor when I sold it. I can offer guidance, but understand that you'll have to deal with fading memories.
