trying to put the pics on
where do i go from here?

The splines on the axle are likely just filled with crap from the hub. You should be able to clean that out. A new hub is about $40.

being in south africa i reckon more a case of where do I get parts
would a good engineer be able to possibly weld up the spline and cut into the hub ? bush job I know but parts here are not easily available

[slainte]

once again you spot on just scraped all the gunk out ,spline still perfect
my mate works at the local golf course he should have a hub lying around for me

thanks so much I can finally sleep well tonight

If you can't get the parts, it'd probably be easier to just cut in 2 keyways and install keys. Won't any of the parts places deliver to SA? I've sent parts to SA for machinery. I think we use DHL or UPS.
