they use generic jacob chucks that you can get from any reputable tool shop or hardware store
most likely find that the chuck is on a taper adapter rather than a screw on unit
Woodstock International's Shop Fox machinery line has gradually proven itself to be one of the top brands for woodworking and metalworking equipment in America.

usually that requires special fixtures to remove the collar and a press, I would recommend cleaning with WD-40 and wiping clean all exposed parts and if you have compressed air try using that also, WEAR safety glasses.
that is a 1/2 chuck but you would also need to know the pilot hole size and then you can go to any hardware store (Lowes, Home Depot) and buy a replacement. Check to see if the chuck has a name on it like Jacobs or something similar but I don't think there is anything special. A ROHM chuck does however take a funny looking key.
Are you talking about the chuck key? That's the little wrench with a collar of gear teeth on it.
There are only a few standard sizes plus a couple of odd-balls. Last time I looked, Sears carried a good selection. If you have the old one, take it with you to the store. If you don't have the old one, find a way to measure or approximately measure what you need. Another chuck key that doesn't fit can be a useful reference. If you can find something (maybe a drill bit) that is a close fit into one of the three holes in the chuck, that can be useful too.
