Problem solved and thanks again for your help. I have been given the incorrect grade shear pins ( for several years ) for the impeller. I have been using #8 pins and not the correctly specified grade 5 pins. As the grade 8 pins are slightly smaller, they did not seat well in the pin holes and...

Good question and I see what you are getting at. The pin is breaking after engaging with the snow ... sometimes I get to clear the driveway with no hitches but most often, I end up having to replace the impeller pin over the course of 45 minutes. the quality and amount of snow do not seem to...

Thanks. Interesting possibility re: Grade 8 vs Grade 5. I recently cracked off a pin in my PTO arm that connects to the blower. Had to pull off the arm and replace the pin. Maybe too much stress using the 8

I just re-read your reply. This is interesting. It appears that the dealer has been providing me with Grade 8 pins (gold coloured with 6 markings on the bolt head) for my impeller instead of Grade 5 pins - see pic. That said, I would have thought the grade 8's would be less likely to shear than...

I'll have a closer look to see if there is any play on the two alignment plates where the bolt is connected. I'm wondering about the bolt. The dealer tells me they have provided me with a gold colored #8 bolt (not sure about this) for the impeller and an earlier post recommended #5 only. See...

Thanks for your replies everyone, very much appreciated ! My blower is the B2782B mounted on my B2650 tractor. I have attached a picture of the impeller shear pins provided by the dealer. Further to ... a few years back I had problems with this same blower and it was determined that the chain...

Thanks, indeed I did have this problem a few years back when I had to replace the one ( and only ) auger pin that broke on the blower. I had not oriented the augers correctly at the time but since learned of the correct positioning you have pointed out. But still, the snow chute seems to block...

I have a B2650 tractor with a dealer installed, front mounted snowblower. The dealer supplied shear pins ( gold coloured ) for the impeller on the blower continually break ... even in light snow. We are not talking about particularly heavy or wet snow here, just your typical 2 to 4 inch...
