For my snowblower project I need a replacement #91 Woodruff Key and (2) #5 keys.  See below for what one looks like. They lock the spur gear to the axle shaft and the wheel hubs to the axle shaft.

They're $0.35 at the local "real" hardware store - but they don't have the #91.

They local dealer gets a mere $1.24 for it - but doesn't have it either.

So, it took me 30 minutes to mount the new motor and I drove around for an hour looking for a #91 Woodruff Key.....

I also need two "Feather Keys." The one place that didn't laugh at me or think I was snipe hunting only had them in Metric!

Once I finish this one I think I'll buy another to rebuild, because I'll have every cotter pin, Woodruff key and feather key required.....

Hmm. Three "good" hardware stores didn't have them. Nor did the industrial fastener distributor have that size.

Walked into a Homed Depot. $0.60. Whodathunkit?

Glad to hear you finally found it.  Maybe I'll check there more often.
