Unfortunately I never think of that until after I'm done.
Most welcome C-Bag! Pic 1, 2, & 3 looks to me like some kind ring is around the neck of the drum. Assumed it was an O-Ring for the channeled rollers to ride on. Would imagine it could be a steel/tube ring though to stiffen the neck of it for riding on your roller support and the weight of the dirt.

Thanks for the detail on the coupling, pretty sharp thinking and repurposing! I get it now! I've tried to avoid fruit and nut trees because of a summer picking walnuts as a teen...for someone 6'6" it was a long summer... However I never minded getting apples for my Gma to make her unbelievable apple sauce.
