I'm still a bit confused how this would work? Would the slug have a shaft on it like the whole thing milled/lathed out of one aluminum rod?

Well, really whatever you want. Heres how it breaks down:
On the white output of the fisher-price, there is an octagonal hole formed by tabs. It appears to be round at first glance. So, by maching a round slug that fits in this octagonal hole closely, you have now effectively "Plugged the hole". Between the slots of the FP output, you drive bolts through, into holes tapped on the Aluminum slug. So, the slug can then have whatever you want on it. Want to drive a 1/2" shaft with it? Machine and broach a 1/2" hole into the Al slug! All it is is really plugging the output hole with something that is easy to interface.
