15. A milling machine, comprising:
a frame;
a milling assembly supported by the frame, the milling assembly including:
a milling drum defining a mating surface;
a driveshaft configured to be powered to drive the milling drum about an axis, the driveshaft defining an engagement surface to engage with the mating surface;
a retention system for retaining the milling drum to the driveshaft, the retention system including:
a retention member couplable to the driveshaft between a first position and a second position, wherein
in the first position, the retention member restricts a disengagement between the engagement surface and the mating surface, inhibiting a release of the milling drum from the driveshaft along the axis, and
