Ariens 926004 pinion shaft hairpin

Has anyone else had the hairpin in the pinion shaft located on the lower left side of the machine break? I understand that it keeps the pinion from turning, but what is the pinion doing that it shouldn't turn. It snapped off in below zero weather one day when I was rolling it out of the garage. Can any harm come from not having the pin preventing the pinion from turning? I emailed Ariens about the pinion anti rotation kit, and they said if I lost the pin I should call the dealer. Yeah, and have them tie up the machine for weeks on end. I just stuck something else in to prevent it from spinning. Can anyone explain the operation of the pinion and what it is doing?
