    How to tell if a shear pin is broken in a snowblower
    I have a John Deere snowblower that only 1 side of the outer auger is spinning when engaged/running. The other side does not move & freely spins when the motor is off. I am assuming this to be a shear pin. Or does anyone else have any ideas?

    Sounds like a pin or key of some sort. It could be a removeable pin or a woodruff key.

Snow blower shear pin [ 1 Answers ]

I broke a shear pin on my craftsman snow thrower. The head and retainer nut are sheared off properly but I don't know how to get the actual pin out of the shaft. Should I just use a small screwdriver and hammer and just knock it out? I have replacement pins.
