Are all snowblower shear pins the same size?

There are three basic sizes of shear bolts, and it’s important to select the correct one for your snowblower to ensure it fits and works correctly. Brass 1/4″ shear bolts are most commonly used on smaller, entry-level snowblowers. Black 5/16″ shear bolts are for larger mid-grade snowblowers.

How do I know if I broke a shear pin on my snowblower?

When it’s safe, visually inspect the augers. If you don’t see the shear pin head or nut and you can manually spin the auger along the auger shaft, you broke a shear pin. Shear pins can be replaced quickly and are a lot cheaper to replace than the auger or gear case.
