Details: Ariens Shear Bolt Replacement Kit for 924000 and 926000 Model Series Snow Blowers

Brand: Ariens

​A shear pin (also known as a shear bolt) is a weak bolt that connects your auger to the auger shaft. That connection allows the augers to rotate, collect snow and send snow into the impeller fan where the snow is thrown from the chute. If a large object gets wedged between your augers and the housing, the pins break as designed to protect your auger gearcase from incurring damage. All two-stage snow blowers have at least one shear pin on each side of the auger gear case. A shear pin is different from a regular bolt because it is designed to break, or “shear,” which in this case is a good thing. Shear pins are made with a weak point that snaps if a jam occurs between the auger and the housing. Let’s say a rock gets between the rotating auger and the housing. It stops the auger, but the auger shaft, which the auger is connected to by a shear bolt, wants to keep turning. If the jam by the rock is too severe and outmatches the force supplied by the gearcase to the rotating auger shaft, the shear bolt breaks, allowing the gearcase and the shaft to continue moving, undamaged. These jams that interrupt the auger rotation cause the shear pins to break, releasing the auger shaft from the auger. While this stops the auger from rotating, this also prevents damage to the snow blower gearcase.

Buyer Guide Snow Blower Accessories

 If you are thinking about buying snow blower accessories or some other snow blower accessories, I would suggest that you check out the guide below.

• Size. Snow blowers come in various sizes and models. Before you buy, consider the size of your property. If your area is large, you’re going to need a bigger machine. Make sure that you consider the size of the area being cleared.
• Mulching. Buying a mulching snow blower may cost a bit more, but it’s well worth it. The mulching feature allows you to clear away leaves, twigs, and other small debris.
• Engine.
• Speed. Snow blowers operate at different speeds. Measure the amount of snow you’ll be clearing. The higher the speed, the faster it will move.
• Storage. If you’re going to be storing your snow blower outdoors, be sure to keep it covered. Make sure it’s stored in an area that won’t freeze.

How to choose Snow Blower Accessories

 With winter in full swing, many snow blowers need to be serviced and tune-ups. But, just because your snow blower is running smoothly today doesn’t mean it will run that way tomorrow. When shopping for snow blower accessories, here are some things to keep in mind:

• The snow blower that you buy will ultimately rely on the engine and blades to cut through the snow. So, the quality of the blades will depend on the quality of the engine. If the engine is an older unit, you may want to look into purchasing new blades.
• How much snow do you tend to blow through? Snow blowers are made for different amounts of snow. The larger ones can cut through four to five inches of deep snow. If you tend to deal with a lot of snow, it’s best to invest in a larger snow blower.
• How often are you likely to use your snow blower? If you tend to use your snow blower often, you may want to consider purchasing snow blower accessories that extend the longevity of your snow blower. For example, you may want to get a snow blower cover — which will help protect the snow blower from the weather and prevent snow from sticking to the blades and clogging the chute.
• Do you plan on using your snow blower in windy conditions? The snow blower blades, which come in a variety of materials, can wear out quickly if they aren’t properly cared for. For example, the blades may become bent or warped. This can cause the snow blower to have trouble cutting through the snow effectively.
• How often do you plan on using your snow blower? All gas-powered snow blowers need to be serviced at least once a year. Some snow blowers have parts that may need to be repaired. So, it’s important to plan ahead.

 

How to maintain Snow Blower Accessories

 Winter’s harshest days are behind us, but that shouldn’t mean you should put away your snow blower just yet. For many of us, snow blowers aren’t just a tool used to remove snow from driveways and sidewalks, but a tool used to replace our snow shovels.

Snow blowers become an essential part of home maintenance during the cold months, and it’s important to maintain their accessories.

• Filters: When purchasing new snow blowers, it’s recommended that you purchase a 2-stage or 3-stage snow blower. 2-stage snow blowers have one stage for pushing snow, and a second stage for directing snow to where you want it to go. 3-stage snow blowers rely on 1 stage for pushing snow, 1 stage for directing snow, and 1 stage for blowing
• Know how often you need to replace your filters. Some snow blowers come with special attachments that allow the snow blower to be hooked up to a vacuum, making it easy to clean out the snow blower’s filter. Other snow blowers have replaceable filters that require frequent cleaning.
• Oil: Most snow blowers run on 2-cycle oil, but there are some models that run on 4-cycle oil. 2-cycle oil is designed to burn cleanly and quickly, and 4-cycle oil is designed to burn more slowly.
• Know how to change your oil. Most snow blowers have 2- or 3-clip designs that allow you to remove the oil filler cap, remove the oil filter, and refill the oil.
