after taking my rear wheel off I noticed the dummy axle has a fair amount of play to it, is this normal? 1973 850
Thanks,Larry
 
Yes, the dummy axle has some play in it. The brake hub "floats" and allows a measure of self alignment when its bolted up. Imperative that the right order of washers and spacers are installed. The hub bearing is a 2 row item and pretty dependable.

Also why you should apply the rear brake before tightening the drum side axle nut, to centralise the back-plate,
