I've lost a couple of sets and man what a pain going around trying to pickup new again.
The John Deere/Hitachi excavators us a 600 key. You might find a few gray market machines that don't use that key and replacements used to be impossible to get. They also have a different key for the mini excavators.
Komatsu has several different numbered keys but the master is a 797.
Case has some different keys also. The excavator keys do not fit the dozers. Case excavator keys do fit Link-Belts.
Volvo has a different keys for loaders, excavators and haul trucks. The last time I had to buy a loader key it cost me $30.
There are several old standard keys that were sold with many machines. The snoopy key was used as a master in most of the old Internationals and some other brands. The same with the forked Ingersoll Rands, I found many old Hypac and Hyster rollers with the same key.
As for the truck driver, I figure you guys must have all the lost keys in the world. Everytime a trucker moves a machine I'm sure they take the keys with them![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
