The Story
303160355P 303160355 Snow Blower Shear Pins and Nuts - Pack of 4
Key Features
- Material: Low Carbon Steel
- Finish: Zinc coated for corrosion resistance
- Dimensions: 6 mm diameter pins
- Function: Designed to break under a specific load to protect the snow blower's auger and gearbox from damage
- Includes matching locknuts for a secure fit
Replaces / Cross-Reference Part Numbers
- 303160355P
- 303160355
Compatibility & Fitment
- Brand: PowerSmart
- Fits all PowerSmart two-stage snow blower models
When to Replace
- Replace immediately after a pin has sheared or broken
- A broken pin is indicated when the auger assembly no longer rotates while the engine is running
- Pins typically break when the auger strikes a hard object such as a rock, curb, or thick ice
- Keep spare pins on hand to minimize equipment downtime
Installation Tips
- For safety, stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire before servicing
- Align the hole on the auger shaft with the corresponding hole on the auger blade
- Insert the shear pin completely through the aligned holes
- Fasten the pin with the supplied locknut
- Do not substitute with a standard hardware bolt, as this will prevent the protective shear action and can lead to severe gearbox damage
