peerless model number should be on the side stamped on a metal tag sitting in a slot and held in by the top half

Post the units model and serial numbers and we should be able to help you more. Do you mean shaft keys or shift keys? Big difference.

If you have the equipment the transaxle came out of the model from it might help finding out which 5 speed with reverse Peerless it is from the early 90's.

I think the numbers are stamped into the case. If you look up from behind the seat area, on the rearmost surface, you will find the model number. You may have to scrub a bit to see them.

Post photos of any keys that you have no matter how much they are worn,
If you don't have ANY, then post a photo of the recesses that they go into.

The odds are very good that they are standard sized parts in one of 2 shapes-either square in cross section, or shaped like a slice off of a solid circle. The second shaped ones are called "Woodruff" keys. ON OLDER MACHINES THE KEYS WOULD BE IN INCH SIZING, NEWER ONES HAVE A GOOD CHANCE OF BEING METRIC.

EITHER shape of keys can be found in the hardware section of a GOOD hardware store or big box stores where they have the trays of various specialty nuts, bolts, washers, hitch clips, springs, etc.

Collections of each of these shapes in several sizes,( lengths, widths), usually packed in a FLAT compartmented plastic box, can be bought online fairly inexpensively ($10.-20.00), and sometimes you can find packaged assortments of fewer keys, cheaper, without the box.

If you work on cars and/or other machinery much and live out n the sticks like me, having a bunch of these types of collections (in the boxes) of less used but common hardware parts on hand can save you a LOT of time and effort when you DO need one or a few of the odd parts.

Here are links to AMAZON pages for both.

Woodruff keys

Standard square keys.

Shift keys in a peerless tranny are not square o woodruff. You will not find them in any hardware store. IL‘s posted picture shows type, but there are others available, which is why we need picture or numbers.

OK I see.
I h you find the ones you need.

The photo is a little fuzzy, but It looks as though it might have started out life as a piece of square bar stock-then been machined.

No they started off life as power
They are a powder metal pressings
Hard to tell till you have a close look at the fracture surface
And they fracture because you can not shift on the move but some customers never learn $$$$$
Both of my after market suppliers (Stens & RGS ) do aftermarket keys for some models

I believe I have them in stock. To my knowledge there was only one part number for the spring/slot keys that engage into the appropriate gear when shifting. I refer to them as shifting keys.

Who's patent number? It's not listed as a valid patent in the US.
Is it a special shaped key?

Any particular reason why you refuse to post the image directly into your post
The link has nothing in it and quite frankly I have a thing about jumping through hoops of fire to help people
