A Woodruff key is a small, semi-circular metal key that fits into a mating keyway on a shaft and hub assembly to lock rotating components in alignment and prevent slippage. This type of fastener component is a common service part in small-engine applications, typically replaced after a blade strike or shaft impact event causes the key to shear. Technicians servicing Murray lawn and garden equipment keep these on hand as a standard consumable repair part.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Woodruff Key 9 is used in Murray-branded lawn and garden equipment where the OEM key specification calls for this size. Typical applications include crankshaft-to-flywheel assemblies in small gasoline engines, where the key positions the flywheel at the correct timing advance angle. It is installed during engine reassembly after a blade-strike inspection or flywheel removal procedure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSemi-circular Woodruff key profile for positive rotational alignment in keyway assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOEM-specified size 9 profile for direct fitment in compatible Murray equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned to shear under shock load to protect crankshaft and flywheel from damage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard consumable service part for blade-strike and engine inspection repairs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement Woodruff key for Murray lawn and garden power equipment requiring a size 9 Woodruff key specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by qualified small-engine technicians or experienced power-equipment service professionals. Always disconnect the spark plug wire and allow the engine to cool completely before accessing the flywheel or crankshaft assembly. Use a flywheel puller tool to remove the flywheel without damaging the crankshaft taper — never strike the flywheel directly. Ensure the keyway slots on both the crankshaft and flywheel hub are clean and free of debris before seating the new key.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKey Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Woodruff Key\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKey Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MURRAY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20697ma\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MURRAY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51206732349746,"sku":"20697MA","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/murray-20697ma-woodruff-key-9","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
