Ok, well I decided to use what I had with me, a 4" grinder, tried 1 pass, then a little hammer action, to see how distorted the end of the shaft was, got the bearing half way out and jammed, cut almost through and it expanded and broke on its own, 1 more even pass with the grinder, a file then, some sand paper, all on the end, not where the bearing needed to be.
You guys were right, what in heck was I thinking(lets not go there LOL) old bearing = 1 piece, 2 set screws, replacement, was 2 piece, locking collar with 1 set screw and a divot for a punch to turn and lock, very easy to set and holds on your mark, before you tighten that set screw, now that shaft will not move and offset the drive sprocket. That old drive sprocket sure looks odd and worn, 1/2 of one side seems to be gone, compared to the new one, #60 roller chain, 3/4 pitch if I recall. Something was off, ( we've only had it a year ).
So that went well, but I still have a dilemma with the chain, it's new, so are the idler and the drive sprocket, the auger sprocket looks to be fine, a nicked tooth or two is all. What started this whole thing was the dummy(not me) who cobbed up the top link pin at the first storm, well thankfully the pto was not on, it dropped over and knocked the auger bearing out of the flange. I still think it needs to move right 1/4" - 1/2" see the photo. Chain jumps and bumps the housing, see the grooves it and or the old one made, you can see it's hugging the left side of the auger sprocket, no matter how tight or loose, she seems to jump/ rubberneck, tense then loose, bang against the housing, (top side of chain bounces) what do you guys think, 2 of the three sprockets, drive and idler seem to have lined up fine, must be the auger sprocket, which means I have to loosen the set screws on each side (bearings) and tap it over. Now if I get that aligned, still bounces, must be a tension issue, what say you ? LOL !
Idler looks off in this photo, must have taken it before I shimmed it out and tightened, chain lines up when you look down from the top.
See where the chain hugs the left side of the sprocket

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
