Post by Belliott3 » Thu Aug 29, 2019 8:13 pm

Does anyone know where I can purchase the correct size woodruff key that holds the emergency brake lever onto the assembly shaft?

Lots of choices, any good hardware store, or on-line fastener companies

That part is T-3457, Handbrake lever key, (1909-1917) its a common #9 Woodruff half moon key.

From Fastenal:
No. 9 , 3/16" W x 3/4" L , 1035 Steel, Half Moon Woodruff Key
