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

How to choose Snow Blower Accessories

When you own a snow blower, you want to make sure that you are investing in the right accessories. When shopping for snow blower accessories, here are a few things to consider:

• Is the accessory durable? Snow blower accessories should be made with high-quality materials. Look for ones that are made with stainless steel or aluminum, and that is backed by a warranty.
• Are the accessories compatible with your specific snow blower? Purchasing snow blower accessories can be even more confusing. Some snow blowers come with accessories, and some don’t. When you purchase a snow blower, make sure to ask if it comes with accessories. Also, make sure that the accessories you do purchase are compatible with your specific snow blower.
• What type of warranty comes with the accessories? When you purchase snow blower accessories, look for a warranty. Some accessories come with a warranty, and others don’t.
•  Is the accessory easy for the snow blower operator to use? As with any machine, you want to ensure that any accessories you purchase are easy to use and operate.

Snow blowers should be cleaned after each use.

• Check the manual to see how often you should be cleaning your snow blower. If you use your snow blower often, it may need to be cleaned more often.

• Check you’re manual to see if your snow blower needs to be lubricated.
• If your snow blower needs lubrication, you should consult your manual to see how often you should lubricate it.
• Before storage, you should drain the gas and oil.
