Todd, as mentioned above, I have the same problem. I was considering taking my main shaft up to a machinist I know and have him make a new one that was longer and made of 316 ss. I would be interested in finding out the answer to this. I am certainly looking for the cure to this problem.Hey Shoney
It's a GREAT Deal, but you gotta know the limitations of the stuffer

The gears are steel, but the main shaft is aluminum. Poor Combination!!!
I spoke with Weston, the MFG. of the Cabelas stuffer, and there were problems with the plunger bottoming out, and would bend/break parts. This happens when using the electric motor. They removed a few teeth from the shaft, and the unit would no longer bottom out. The new problem, is the stuffer now leaves 2-3 lbs. of meat in the bottom of the can. I find this very frustrating, and have to fill by hand, if I'l filling 1# bags, or use a Jerky Cannon if I'm making sausage or snack sticks. Some guys have fabricated another plastic disk, approx. the size of the plunger, to shim the plunger. I shimmed the plunger with large washers, and extended the shaft with brass bushings.
The New Cabelas Stuffers have an available electric motor with a built in clutch. This keeps parts from bending/breaking. Also, the new model travels all the way to the bottom, so there is minimal meat left in the can.
Last year, I paid $200 for my 20# Cabelas Stuffer and another $95 for the motor in the Bargain Cave at my local Cabelas. It was such a good deal, that I couldn't pass it up! I just can't see dumping this one, and paying over $600 for the latest version. I have a mark on the shaft, so I know when the plunger gets to the bottom of the can.
I am wondering if the main shaft is interchangeable, and if the new shaft would work in the older Cabelas Stuffer???
