Unfortunatly, it is a big pain to fix. You need to remove the shaft and beater drum from the machine and replace the 2 with new or, have your favorite machinist rebuild the shaft and drum hubs. We used to do a lot of these. The problem is, the drum is located on the shaft by keys and the keways would get worn in either the drum or the shaft if not both. We had a machinist rebuild the keyways on the shaft and usually used a good beater drum from a wrecked combine that was in perfect shape but was removed. You certainly don't want to buy new pieces! $$$$$$$
