Yesterday I found myself blowing a large amount of snow. Unfortuneately, I hit a large rock which stopped the auger from turning. Fairly new to all this, I thought the shear pins had broke, because the blower had stopped. Upon further inspection, I learned that the shear pins were still intact. This is a brand new snow thrower, not even 2 hrs on it. So I know there was no rust or etc involved in the breakage. What happened is the tube portion of the yoke and tube, rounded out, so the other end, yoke and shaft spun freely. My question is, arent the shear pins suppose to break before the yoke tube? Do you think this should, or could be a warranty item? Any comments welcomed.. Thanks Todd /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
