Hello Fellow Team Orange,
I wanted to get some thoughts around alternative sheer pins or soft bolts for the impeller for a BX2816 snow blower that I use for BX23s. One of the bolts is not a sheer pin but rather a G5 soft bolt. Kubota has a replacement for 17-19 USD, which I feel is just out of control pricing. I located this part for a new holland that is 1/3 the cost but it does NOT have threads that go along the whole shaft of the bolt. They are both the same size and grade 5. Is it possible to get away with using this type of replacement from new holland?
