Have you measured the shaft to make sure it is actually 5/8"? That would have been the first thing I would have done if I bought this used Shopsmith and the accessory hubs (drill chuck, etc.) don't fit.
The last thing you want to do is use a hammer to put the accessories on. You can do all sorts of damage, including bending the shaft. The accessories should slide on easily without using any kind of force.
