Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

     I was just wondering if many operators have had to replace the shear bolts( pins) in their snowblowers.  

I had an old Craftsman, 32 inch   13.5 horsepower Tecumseh. snowblower that I used for 15 years

and had not broken any shear bolts.                 I took out the old  shear bolts a few years ago and  found they were badly bent, so I replaced them.    I sold it later , it was 18  years old.
