    Hi,
    No I do not think any use it. May be wrong but the easy way to see is to tie off the machine in the engaged position and try to turn the impeller. If it spins freely, then I am wrong and yes there is one. Usually it is the auger that has them as that is most likely to encounter a "dangerous" object.
    Peace,

    I would also check to make sure the auger belt is tight enough.

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.
