I wasn't judging other than you should had read his 1st post and know wasn't a wheel axle key but an input shaft problem. BTW the MTD single speed transaxle doesn't use axle keys. They use a Double D [double flats]. Other transaxles can use a long square key which does get lost if you don't pay attention when removing and installing the rims.Well StarTech I thought it was good information to have, regardless what his issue was. Others with drive issues could read this thread and maybe my info could help.
Don't be so quick to judge others, Mr Royalty.
I have the same issue with mine, same year and model. Could I hit you up for the repair guide for the transaxle itself? I'm about to order #10, but from the other posts I read, do I need to also order #4, #8, and #9 or are they inside the transaxle? Y'all are awesome for what ya do, thanks so much in advance.Item 10 is the snap ring.

And do you need a repair guide for the transaxle itself?
That shaft looks like it still has the SCE108 needle bearing on it. maybe just my eyes but it appears the bearing has been spinning in the housing. If so then the housing has had it. If it is just the shaft then it also needs replacing along with the two needle bearings.I have the same issue with mine, same year and model.

Ah boy, now this makes total sense to me:Well that's fine this is a MTD single speed transaxle.
