Parts for Craftsman 107889650: Engine Parts

The shear bolt kit provides a special type of bolts used to connect the auger blade to the axle. The bolts are meant to provide protection in the event the blade becomes stuck or hits something hard, such as a chunk of ice. At that time, the force will cause the bolt to snap instead of breaking other parts of the machine what would be expensive to replace. The shear bolts are meant to break under certain conditions. When this happens, the owner will need to order replacements. It is also a good idea to check the condition of the bolts occasionally to ensure they are still in good working order and to replace them if they show signs of wear or potential early breakage. The bolts are easy to replace. These genuine OEM replacement shear bolts are sold in pairs and include nuts and washers. Compatible brands include Craftsman, Husqvarna, Snapper, Simplicity, Poulan Pro, Briggs & Stratton, and Murray. Buyers should be sure they are getting the right bolts for their make and model. They may also want to purchase some additional bolts to have on hand for the future.

Making the repair is relatively straightforward and requires the removal of the upper belt guard. From there, access to the pulleys is possible and an extension bar along with a ratchet and socket are necessary for the repair. The next steps vary based on model. This belt works with Snapper, Simplicity, Murray, Briggs & Stratton, among other snowblower makes and models. It ships individually.
