If it were mine, after checking that the gears were ok, I would just take the cutting torch and cut the heads/nuts off of the bolts that hold the flutes on the snapping roll shafts and replace the flutes. Maybe try one row and see what it does to improve your situation. I think a pair of flutes for one row isn't that much through aftermarket vendors and it isn't that hard of a project to do. I have a pair of new flutes I would sell for 1/2 price if you are interested as I run Deere combines now. Pretty sure I had the same situation once and replaced that row. Generally if a gear or bearing is bad in the gear boxes it will destroy the gear in short order, sometimes the gear box. Most of the time you will notice it just quit and there will not be any teeth left on the gear. They were a great corn head for their day. Better than anyone else had until Deere came out with the 444, 434, 643, and 843, which in my opinion is a better head. I had several Massey corn heads - 43, 44, 63, and 1143 which I ran on a Massey 410 and 550.
