plumb-r 34 #1 Posted October 14, 2018 I had to replace a spindle and pulley on my mower deck.I got the parts from A-Z Tractor(great place to deal with). Anyway I forgot to get a Woodruff key. Can someone tell me will a steel key work for it support to be a special shear key material? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JAinVA 4,619 #2 Posted October 14, 2018 You should be fine with correct size key from NAPA,Tractor Supply or other sources.Later decks didn't even have a key in the spindles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
