It looks like an idle shaft (not a driven one), just to hold a rotating part (lubricated
cog) engaged with other gearing. The flat is just intended to keep it
from rotating (and rubbing against the plastic that holds it). A filed flat
would work fine, and a bit of hotmelt glue might be all the 'fitting' you need.
The difficulty is, the diameter has to match the original. Do you have a micrometer?
