It looks identical to the new bolts, old on top

I just heard on the radio that the summit on Mt. Washington in New Hampshire hit -108😳

It is like the two are welded together, I bet you are right, I will let you know when I reach the promised land.

Here is that shear bolt

$519 for that piece of crap fan, already looked in case I can’t straighten it. I will not buy another one, absolutely ridiculous.

Well, I gave up about an hour ago, had dinner, and left the thing for the evening. The movement you see on this shear pin plate took 10 minutes with a 4 lb sledge. It is like that thing is welded on there. Something has to be bent.

The sad part is that that stupid shear pin is supposed to prevent all of this. If only the damn thing did it’s job.

I don’t have a gear puller, but thanks for the idea. I will try to loosen the four bolts behind the blower. Non mechanic here,lol

Housing looks fine as far as I can tell. This thing does not want to come out though. I can’t beat on it very well with it in the housing.

And if I do get it out, do you think I can straighten it with a bench vise, I am thinking probably not. Maybe I should start looking at snow pushers,lol.

So the blower(LX2980) was working great yesterday with the new couplings and we came to a sudden stop. Injested a rock and killed the tractor immediately. I surprisingly was able to pull rock from the fan and found the broken shear pin behind the chain access on the drive shaft part...

Honestly, I have not looked at it closely to see what kind of a pain it would be.

I reversed mine all the time before I had a hydraulic blade, now I can’t.

you can control chute deflection with your third function. I bought the kit( somewhere around $700 ) and used nothing except the cylinder and a bracket, that’s it.

I know exactly what you are saying, why did this happen?

The K connect is solidly mounted to tractor

I don’t know what a lovejoy coupling is but a simple shear pin thru the pair you put in when you install and remove in the spring would be awesome.

Here we go, fully up, fully down. Ran smooth as silk yesterday but it sure is a Different experience when you have all this crap in Your brain, lol. Don’t do this, don’t do that. I have come to the conclusion I really need to make my world more level. my blower probably goes up and down at least...

Oops, wrong pics

I took a measurement with blower engaged fully up and in the float position. I would say there is about 1/16 difference.
