The brake drums are notorious for coming loose on Cubs. A previous owner probably had that drum come loose on multiple occasions, and finally got fed up with having to tear the tractor down to fix it. He tried to weld the drum to the shaft, but it obviously didn't work.
Sometimes welding is necessary, as "fixing it right" simply doesn't work, or isn't an option due to cost. Case in point, the steering arms on the 756 worked loose. No amount of tightening, new keys, shimming, etc. was a permanent fix. They'd always work loose again in a short amount of time. To "fix it right" would've meant new spindles and steering arms, well over $1000 in parts to fix a slight amount of wear in one spot. Dad hated to do it, and tried every alternative short of new parts or welding before finally giving in and running a bead around the top of each steering arm. It's been like that for 15-20 years now.
