I can give a guess as to why it was welded on-
The set screws on a sprocket on our haybine worked loose on the previous owner and they wouldn't hold the sprocket tight any more. The shaft was worn down and the sprocket's bore was worn out too, so there was too much slop.
When we got it, I ran it like that for a little while until the bearing went out this past season. I called up my former work and had them make me 2 new sprockets, then I took the shaft to work and welded it up and had the lathe guy turn it down.
Chances are the bore in the sprocket is worn out, so that's junk. The shaft will probably have to be welded up too. This is coming from a farming machinist with experience of these types of on-farm repairs to gimp it through the season.
