What is claimed is: 1. A drive system for wellbore operations, the drive system comprising a main body, a motor apparatus, a main shaft extending from the main body and rotatable by the motor, the main shaft having a top end and a bottom end, a connection assembly, an item, the item adjacent to the
What is claimed is: 1. A drive system for wellbore operations, the drive system comprising a main body, a motor apparatus, a main shaft extending from the main body and rotatable by the motor, the main shaft having a top end and a bottom end, a connection assembly, an item, the item adjacent to the bottom end of the main shaft and connected to the main shaft with the connection assembly, the connection assembly non-threadedly connecting the main shaft to the item, the connection assembly comprising a load ring with a projection projecting interiorly thereof, a load ring housing, the main shaft having a recess therearound corresponding to the load ring's projection, the projection disposed within the recess, and the load ring housing connectible to an item below the main shaft and the load ring housing adjacent and encompassing the load ring to maintain the load ring in position with respect to the main shaft. 2. The drive system for wellbore operations of claim 1 wherein the drive system is a top drive system, and the main shaft is a drive stem of the top drive system. 3. The drive system of claim 1 wherein the main shaft has an outer surface, the recess has an interior wall, a lower fillet extends from the interior wall to the outer surface of the main shaft, and the lower fillet located for supporting the item and additional things connected to the item. 4. The drive system of claim 1 wherein the item includes a drill string. 5. The drive system of claim 1 wherein the load ring housing has a series of spaced-apart wrench flats for facilitating rotation of the load ring housing. 6. The drive system of claim 1 wherein the load ring housing has a lower end with interior threading for threadedly mating with exterior threading of the item. 7. The drive system of claim 1 wherein the load ring is comprised of a plurality of at least two segments installable around and in contact with the main shaft. 8. The drive system of claim 1 further comprising a series of spaced-apart torque transmitting splines on the lower end of the main shaft for engaging a series of corresponding splines on an interior of the item. 9. The drive system of claim 1 wherein the load ring housing has a lower end with interior threading for threadedly mating with exterior threads of the item. 10. The drive system of claim 1 wherein the load ring is comprised of a plurality of at least two segments installable around and in contact with the main shaft. 11. The drive system of claim 1 further comprising a series of spaced-apart torque transmitting splines on the lower end of the main shaft for engaging a series of corresponding splines on an interior of the item. 12. The drive system of claim 1 wherein the bottom end of the main shaft is not threaded. 13. The drive system of claim 1 wherein the main shaft has a longitudinal axis and a bottom surface at the bottom end, the bottom surface normal to the longitudinal axis of the main shaft, one of the main shaft and the item has a seal recess and an end seal partially disposed in the seal recess, and the end seal for sealing an interface between the main shaft and the item.
