the engine is a hs142f with a 5/8th straight shaft if that helps, was gonna buy one of those big 100 peice boxes off amazon but i dont want to put the wrong size in there and it not fit.

If you have any idea of what size it could be you can go to most auto parts places amd get a few in the soie range

That is not a woodruff key. That takes square key stock. I'll have to measure mine to get you the size.

Oh shoot, I didn't realize he was asking for a square key, I even read it lol. But you can still get em at an auto parts store or even tractor supply

Yes maybe. Its metric key stock so not all parts stores might not have it.

I got mine at Ace Hardware.

You need 4mm × 4mm square key stock at least 1inch long or 25mm long.

I reccomend to just buy a foot long stick of 4mm square key stock.

I stumbled on this thread bc someone told me they thought my woodruff key was sheared based on issues that I've been having. Anyhow, before I go pulling the flywheel off. Would a 144F have the same square key stock?

And if so, do they break or shear as easily as a woodruff key?
