You might be best to go to your local small engine shop.

Sometimes you find yourself in the middle of a SNOWpocalypse with an exhausted supply of shear bolts. At that point its a matter of survival and you figure you can always repair the machine later. :-)

@@eosjoe565 Be careful with that thinking. I just replaced a bent auger on a snapper I have and if I didn't have an oxy-acetalyne torch, the pulley behind the bucket would not have come off without cutting it off. Regardless, it was a very difficult job, mainly because that pulley was so hard to get off. I just order shear bolts by a 20 pack when I get diwn to 5 I order more. It didn't matter, that auger got all bent up even with a shear bolt. If you break something like a front gearbox it can be a very costly repair vs a dollar shear bolt, especially if you don't know how to make the repair yourself. Be prepared.

@@Mr_Tecumseh I was sort of joking really. I do keep a good supply of shear bolts handy but I can certainly see circumstances where someone runs out of shear bolts during a huge snow storm and has to improvise to get the job done.

@@Mr_Tecumseh I've never bent an auger but I did have a situation once in about 20-inches of snow where the blower suddenly made a loud clunk and stalled the engine. Unknown to me, one of the tire chains had come off and the blower "ingested" it on the next pass. It took a bit of fiddling to free but no damage was done.

@@eosjoe565 Your right, shit happens.

Edward Caissie me either. Doesn’t say in manual

My manual says torque to 11 Ft Ibs (Troy-Bilt 42010)

Husky started that style.

Does yours backfire when throttling back or shutting down ? It is really annoying.

Thanks Ruskell JD! I will have to find a video on how to do that.

Mr3Charlie no. Sounds like a carb issue

Yes.

That's Honda's "maintenance free/greased for life" design. They know 99% of the people who buy Honda products can't tell the difference between a wrench and a screwdriver so they save a $1 on fittings.

@@haywoodyoudome Honda machine designs have always left me a bit baffled. They produce some of the most reliable machines available yet many of them have some of the DUMBEST maintenance features you've ever seen. Routine maintenance parts that are nearly impossible to access, total refusal to use oil dip sticks on most engines, hard to read inaccurate fuel gauges (or no gauge at all), and some of the smallest fuel filler holes I've ever seen.

just use a grade 5 bolt and nut

i'm not a Stihl dealer

@@donyboy73 I know, but can you help me? I come from Vietnam and here I don't sell what I need, we only import used second hand goods and broken machines have no parts to repair them.

@@Nongcotoanhien you can check ebay, i don't have ms200t parts at all

BRASS bolts???? Interesting to know, THANKS for your comment !

@@REVNUMANEWBERN Yea, it does make sense if you think about it though, brass is soft, vs hardened steel being a lot harder. Again I never actually tried it, so I can't say that it works for sure, but if your in a bind and don't have a shear bolt and you have a brass bolt, it should get you done until you can get more shear bolts. Hopefully someone else with some first hand knowledge will see this and chime in on how good they work or not.

Thing is brass doesn't break that easy, instead it stretches and bends then breaks, most shear bolts are nothing more than a grade 2 steel bolt with grooves cut in them that make them weaker so they break. The grooves are cut so they set in the space between the inner shaft and the auger tube.

@@Blazer02LS Thats what I read on the forum today about brass. So I'm not sure why according to my Uncle the hardware store was selling brass bolts as shear bolts, but I don't think it was a very good idea. Maybe they just wanted to make money. I have never had one of those shear bolts break clean for me, I always have to knock the middle section out with a roll pin punch its a pain in the ass. Even in this video, the old pins in the blower were all bent up and he had to knock it out.

Got to drill them out

I usually drill them out at that point

Make sure it's not a collared pin, could only gonout one way.

I did successfully drill through one. I guess I'll have to keep working at it. Jamie, they aren't collared, they're a simple hitch pin at in end. Thanks for the help guys.

Check your manual for the part number.

Try Kroil on the rusty parts

i just snug

i use a pin punch or sometimes drill it out

@@donyboy73 I had to drill one out. The auger turns for snowblowing & I put in a new shear bolt but the auger still seems seized to the rod. It doesn't have that bit of play when the shear bolt is out . Any suggestions?

call champion in burlington

Where can I find a cylinder head for a champion generator?

acetylene torches

Cotterpins are like $1 for a thousand of 'em. Most secure at least cost

@@mikeholubek4419 Link for where I can get 1000 cotter pins of the right uniform size for $1?

When you replace the pins they will be aligned as the holes in the shaft take care of that.

@@Blazer02LS or 180* off, on some it makes a difference. I set mine opposing so it alternates directing into impeller instead of shoveling all into impeller at once. Now this works 4 me and I'm a blue collar, hands on kinda guy.

Never seen one that could be 180 off. That is the way all 2 stage are set up. they feed from alternate sides.

mike holubek it happened to me the impeller was 180° off. I put the pin in and the blower was totally out of balance. The impellers have to be offset for the unit to be balanced.

There are a few like that. Use the make/model of the blower you have to find the correct one.

No doubt $$$ and the requirement for additional maintenance. Slip clutches require regular routine maintenance to keep them working properly. Check out PTO slip clutches for comparison.

Rust will kill those clutches in short order. The pins are a lot faster and cheaper to deal with.

Depends on your surface and conditions. I've been running snow blowers for 50 years on a gravel driveway and chains have made a significant improvement to the traction on the snow blower. No more lost traction or spinning tires even when icy. I've always used cleated chains. If using on a paved surface you probably want to use non-cleated chains.

@@eosjoe565 Thank you for your reply!! Yes my driveway is paved I will head your suggestion. I hope they will help my Cub 28" 3X blower, I am very disappointed on this model, I wish I never sold my MTD 24"

@@woodenbeast9337 It's interesting you say that. I still have my old MTD 33-inch 12HP unit that I bought about 27 years ago. That was back when they still put "fat" snow tires on them. It definitely needed to be chained up.

what are you looking for?

EXCELLENT COMMENT 👍✔️ DANKESCHÖN 🌲

It's more than likely a bercomac snowblower you could try contacting them directly on John Deere snow blowers they just use a grade to quarter inch Bolt from the hardware store on garden tractor units

Take your Kubota pins down to your local bolt store. They should be able to set you up with the right stuff for less than anyone.
