Metric Woodruff Keys are semicircular keyways used to lock rotating elements onto shafts. Woodruff Keys fit into a rounded slot cut into a shaft and a pulley or sprocket that has a slot cut into it is installed onto the shaft the slot slides over the woodruff key, creating an assembly that rotates as one unit.

Key Considerations

For a beginner, 66 keys are sufficient for learning to play, and you can play most music on a 72-key instrument. For anyone interested in playing classical piano, however, a full 88 keys are recommended, especially if you plan on one day playing a traditional piano.

The most common keyboard sizes are Full-Sized (104 key), TKL (87 key), and 60% (68 key). Each size is unique with different features. There are other layouts too, some of the less common keyboard sizes are the 75%, 65%, and 40%.
Aside from the number of cuts on the key, it`s simple to determine if a key is a 5-pin or 6-pin key at a glance: A 6-pin key has a longer keystop on top. A 5-pin plug can be repinned to accomodate a 6-pin key.

I have a cub cadet 2165 I just put in a new battery and it is slow turning over any ideas?
ANSWER : If battery is good and everything is hooked up right. Most likely could be the pto clutch bearing. Not the bearing on the pulley but on the clutch inside. Had the same problem, took the spark plugs out got it free. Turned over easy with plugs out, Started right up after and then burned up my bearing. Don’t burn up bearing. If do field assy. For that is 200$ if you can get away with just that. Otherwise 350-400$ for full assy.
