Re: What am i into here?

I had a key shear on a 35 HP RD two years ago. The hardware store keys that big were all too thick. I found a piece of scrap steel the right thickness and cut a chunk out of a corner with a hack saw, then held it with a pliers and shaped it on a bench grinder – worked fine! Yeah it was a bit of messing around, but I got it running without ordering and waiting for a part, and it’s still going strong.
