Augur not spinning when motor engaged

I have a old Wards single stage snow thrower made by MTD.
I recently hit something with the auger and it no longer spins when the motor drives it.The belt is not broken. The auger spins by hand, and from what I've read I have broken the shear pin. My problem is that the manual doesn't show any shear pin, and I can't find one on the augur shaft. Is it possible that this machine was made without a shear pin? Could the augur have been welded to the shaft and I broke the weld?
