Odd situation with shear pins and my blower

I'm glad we discussed this. As I was going through the info from my blower manufacturer, the auger bolt is a grade 2 not a grade 8. I'm glad I got that straightened out, now I will double check that the stock I keep on the tractor are #2 not #8. The PTO shaft is still a grade 5.

I had a neighbor that swapped out shear bolts on his walk behind blower because he got tired of replacing bolts. He destroyed drive system. Snapped into pieces from grade8 bolts.

Yeah, that is exactly why I spent so long making sure I had the correct bolts!
