Honda HS928TCD auger shear pins - two types available
Original Message Jan 20, 2011 10:43 am

I have a new Honda HS928TCD blower. Apparently a change was made in the past for the shear pins for the HS928 so now there are two types available, depending on the frame serial number. The older style pins have a P/N of 95701-06016-00 and the newer style is 92101-06016-0A. Since I have a bunch of the older style shear pins, I am wondering what the nature of the change was and if the older type of shear pins will work for the newer model. If the old style is used on the new frame type, is there a danger to the gearcase because the shearing point is different? See http://www.boats.net/parts/search/Honda/Snow%20Blower/0/HS928%20WAS%20SNOW%20BLOWER%2C%20JPN%2C%20VIN%23%20SZAS-1100001%20TO%20SZAS-1129999/AUGER/parts.html for the illustrations. Any ideas out there?

I totally agree with AA335. You just can't be "penny wise and pound foolish". Why take a chance on $5 bolt and damage $500 auger.

Just to clarify, I don't like spending $5 for a $0.25 bolt any more than anyone else. However, since I don't snap these bolts that often, I'm not putting my snowblower at risk by trying out other cheaper alternatives that may or may not work as designed.

If I live in Lake Tahoe and witnessed someone used an off the shelf bolt on their Honda snowblower and it sheared as designed, I'll be convinced to use the same.

If they don't carry Nyloc Flange nuts. Just by some Nyloc nuts and a washer.

Are there Nyloc flange nuts? I've never seen one. I've seen flange nuts with serrations though.

Good tip on the nylock nut and washer. I would get the flat washer instead of the split lockwasher. These are cheaper than a rare nylock flange nuts, which you can't find to reuse after the shear bolts have been broken.

They do make them, but they aren't common.
Your right most flange nut have the serrations.
If they do have them, they are called Flange Whiz nuts.
I'm not sure a regular Flange Whiz nut will work well in this application. If it's not a Nyloc nut as well.
With the surface that the nut is butting up against being curved.
The Whiz nut may not have enough surface area to bite well enough
to keep it from vibrating loose.
So I guess a washer and a regular Nyloc nut would be best.

So no one has has brought up the A-2 70 stainless bolt option yet anywhere on the internet that I have found. An A-2 70 stainless is 12 % weaker then then the same 8.8 bolt. This may make some of you who don't seem to want to try the 8.8 vs the OEM Honda bolts. I have not tied these yet. But I have a couple for this up coming winter for my 2011 928. If you find some stainless A4-80 they a just a hair under 8.8. I bought my A2 70s at Menard's.
