my rotary cutter has 2 sets of shear bolts....one on the pto shaft and one at the gear housing. The gear housing shaft is the one that always breaks.
You may have to look under the plastic protection shroud to see the empty shear holes. It looks to be where the pto shaft slides into the mower gear box. (see page 22 from link below)

PTO shafts with shear pin - Loosen the outer shield on the implement end of the
PTO and push the gearbox shaft through the end yoke. Using snap ring pliers,
put the snap ring on the end of the gearbox shaft. This is what keeps the PTO
shaft on if the shear pin breaks and the cutter should not be used without it.
Insert a ス x 3 ス Grade 2 bolt with a lock nut to act as shear pin and replace all
shields.
PTO shafts with slip clutch - Note: All PTO shafts with a slip clutch are shipped
with the slip clutch disengaged. There are four socket set screws on the inside
of the clutch assembly which are all turned out as far as they go to engage the
clutch. Disengage by turning set screws in fully. The clutch should slip if a hard
object such as a stump or rock is hit by the blades.
Caution: Always be certain that the PTO shaft is disengaged and the tractor
brakes are locked before making this or any other adjustment.PTO and push the gearbox shaft through the end yoke. Using snap ring pliers,
