I just used a strong magnifier to examine the (alleged) broken shaft -- and realize it is not cracked or broken. Looks like it was designed with a D shape (or semicircle) design in order for a retainer to be able to hold on to the flat side of it. I've since looked at someone elses 53-1750 and it has the same D shaped shaft. I believe it is just missing the metal clip/retainer -- which are not available -- so I'm gonna get a thin piece of steel and see if I can bend one into the shape it needs to be for this to work. Thanks
