You are in luck on the shaft its 5/8, these can be found in various lengths. I have bought them in 12"-36" sections. Moving the final drive element to the other side of the case is not a real problem. You will have to negotiate the key way issue. You can space the drive outward a bit from the mounting plate which will move the key outward, especially since the final drive element is behind the case. I don't know how far you need to extend the key way. The crank is fairly soft so a Dremel with the right bit should be fine to do the job. None of this is a big deal.
