Bruce,
No luck on the model number.
I may have been there at some stage..but not there now... See pic below:

According to tractor data it is:
Transmission:
Transmission: Peerless 920
Type: gear transaxle
Gears: 5 forward and 1 reverse

From the repair manual, the keys look like the 792123A. See piture below.


I am less confident that this is the issue now as:
KEY SPRING HEIGHT
To check shifting keys for loss of spring height, place the short flat portion of a key on a flat surface as shown,
measure the distance from the surface to the key tip. The measurement should be from .400" to .460" (10.2-
11.7 mm); if the measurement is below .400" (10.2 mm) the key should be replaced.
In my case they are above the 10.2...
What else could it be???
