Cool, thanks for all the replies.
The older gentleman just looked at me funny when I said shear pins. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
Thus, no other place in town had them, so I just went with a low grade bolt for a temp fix. Thus began searching online. I plan on purchase a new BH this summer, Chris I see you have the Sq600. How do you like it, I see your tractor

is in the same range as mine JD4300.
Is that enough for what you do with it? If so do you see any weaknesses in it, would you've gone with a heavier duty, like the Bush Hog model 285, or 305. Did you get a slipper clutch, and chain guards? Sorry for the ?'s.
The one I have now is from the early 80's. Got it used, it works, but it looks like something from WWII, and its a Bush Hog brand to. I'm gonna run a few ads to see if I can drum up some business to do light BH'ing. The one I have now, has a slight vibration in it, not bad but at lower rpm you can tell its there, I don't want to keep using it on my new $$ tractor, I'm afraid I'm gonna wear something out faster. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
