  • Replace the cotter pin whenever a shear pin is replaced, as they are not designed for reuse.

Installation Tips

  • Disconnect the spark plug wire before performing any maintenance.
  • Align the hole in the auger shaft with the hole in the gear shaft.
  • Insert the new shear pin through the aligned holes.
  • Secure the shear pin in place by inserting the cotter pin through the small hole at the end of the shear pin.
  • Bend the legs of the cotter pin to lock it in place.

FAQ

These pins are commonly used on many two-stage snow blowers and snow throwers from MTD, Craftsman, Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, and Yard Machines. Fitment can vary by exact model and auger shaft design, so the safest check is to match your original part numbers and the pin style used on your machine.
The listed replacement numbers are 738-04124A and 714-04040. Cross-references found for this shear pin family also include 738-04124, 738-05273, and 02-901. Before ordering, compare the part numbers from your manual or original hardware to confirm compatibility.
A broken shear pin is a common reason the snow blower engine runs but one or both augers stop turning. You may notice one side of the auger not rotating, reduced snow-throwing performance, or a pin that is visibly snapped or missing after hitting ice, a rock, or other packed debris.
Shear pins are designed to break before more expensive auger or gearbox parts are damaged. They usually fail when the auger strikes a hard obstruction such as ice chunks, newspapers, branches, gravel, or a hidden object in the snow. Repeated impact loads and using the wrong replacement hardware can also lead to failure.
Replacement is usually straightforward. Shut off the engine, remove the key, disconnect the spark plug wire, and clear all snow from the auger housing first. Rotate the auger until the shaft holes line up, remove the damaged hardware, insert the new shear pin, and secure it with the cotter pin. Typical tools are pliers for the cotter pin and possibly a punch or small hammer if the broken pin is stuck. Many replacements take about 5 to 15 minutes per side.
No. A standard bolt may not shear at the intended load and can transfer impact forces into the auger gearbox, shaft, or drive components. For this application, use the correct shear pin and matching cotter pin style specified for your snow blower.
Inspect the auger holes for elongation or burrs, make sure the auger spins freely on the shaft when disconnected, and check for packed ice or debris around the auger and impeller area. If shear pins are breaking repeatedly, inspect for hidden obstructions, bent auger components, seized bearings, or gearbox issues rather than just replacing the pins again.
