Right or wrong I fixed the problem. I have three new shafts so I tried each one. I also measured the shaft diameter of each one. There was about .001 to .0015 difference between the largest to smallest. The smallest diameter shaft would slip about 5/16 inch into the bushing before binding. I chucked this shaft up in my drill press and polished the shaft with 360 emery cloth for about 30 seconds followed by 600 sandpaper. The shaft went in about two inches before binding, so I gave it another 30 seconds. This time the shaft went all the way in with a nice sung fit. Thanks guys for all the good ideas.

You better loosen it up more than a good snug fit. At a good snug fit enough oil will not get to it and the bushing will eat the shaft. Once you have a snug fit ,in your case by making shaft smaller you need to remove another .0015
