Well - after having and using my BX62S for four years - I finally did it. Feeding old, hard dry apple wood and blew a shear pin. Kind of surprised me because it was only 4" diameter material.
Anyhow - I looked and by golly - I don't have any shear pins. Called dealer - it will be a week because they don't stock them.
The question becomes - - has anybody used a standard bolt successfully? What grade bolt - -?
I tried a 3/8" - grade 2 bolt and it sheared IMMEDIATELY. No joy there. Thanks for any help.
