Not threaded, but a straight shaft. I'd like to get my wire wheel a bit farther from the motor body.

Sorry, I was completely distracted when I replied. No, I'm not looking for a coupler. You were correct the first time - I'm looking for a 5/8" threaded shaft for my 5/8" motor shaft.

You could get a coupler and a 5/8 bolt, cut the head off the bolt and put smooth part in the coupler, two nuts and washers to hold the wire wheel.
Doing it right cost less than doing it over

you may have to some more digging but this one with a different bushing would work.
You might want to change out the set screws for allen screws to help it balance a bit better
