Description

Here is a replacement shear pin kit for use with snowblowers. The shear pin will connect the auger to the rotating drive shaft. These pins are made from a soft metal, and they are designed to break. If the snowblower hits a hard object, such as concrete, or snow is too hard-packed, the shear pins will break. This helps to protect the transmission and the motor, which could overheat or have other parts break otherwise. When the shear pins break, the auger will not be capable of turning. The pins could break when they are serving their purpose and protecting the machine. If this happens, they need to be replaced before the snowblower can be used again. They could also become corroded if they are older. Replacing the pins tends to be a simple job. The shear pins are an authentic OEM replacement part. These are sold in pairs, but owners might want to have some extra on hand. The pins are compatible with many models of snowblowers from popular brands Murray and Craftsman.
