Ditto what art said-- don't think there's any way to "level" thr blower. If it sits really low on one side, tires are off or something's bent, I think. I too bought a handful last time I was at the dealer and haven't yet used them all up, but it doesn't seem they were that expensive. And yeah, as far as those shear pins go, the Kubota ones were different, I think. At one point I was told you could use grade 5 bolts in a pinch, and have done so, but prefer to use the MF ones. Biggest problem I had was tightening them too much; they should only be tightened enough to get the split lock to go "flat." Any tighter and it puts extra stress on the bolt so it'll shear quicker. PS -- Feel sorry for you guys!! Here I am, drink in hand, sitting on a sun porch in Henderson, NV with a drink in my hand... Gee, it's getting pretty cool now, maybe I need a sweater. Think it's down to 70 now... But really, had to talk my daughter through an impeller shear pin change this morning-- she got snow duty while wife & I tour the southwest this spring. Just make sure all the snow & cold are gone by the time I get back early next month, OK? (I know, "In my dreams"!!) Walt

Enjoy the SW and we'll do our best to have all the snow gone and mud season over. :drinking:

Do you have a source other than dealer or Jacks to buy the correct shear bolts from that aren't $5ea.?

For the kubota's we are at 2.57 each.
