This replacement shear bolt is supplied directly from the original equipment manufacturer for use with Craftsman snowblowers. The purpose of this hardware is to protect your snowblower. If the auger gets jammed or clogged, the shear bolt is designed to snap at a certain point of pressure, that way it will not damage any other part of the unit. Please note this high-quality component is made of durable metal and is sold individually.

Ancient Yard Man snowblower surgery.
My 2 yr old Poulan snowblower
drive assy locked up.
Another storm was imminent.
I bought a VERY used Yard Man
snowblower to finish the winter.
It needed a few parts to bring it
into the 21st century.
Your OUTSTANDING company had
all the necessary parts in stock.
The price was good & the delivery
was timely.
NEXT....
Parts to repair the Poulan drive will need to be ordered.
Thanks,
Burt Maltby, MSgt, USAF, Ret🇺🇲

Snow blower hit a piece of broken concrete which was buried unseen under the snow and it broke the two shear bolts rendering the machine inoperable.

I removed the remaining pieces of the bolts by tapping them out with a screwdriver and hammer, lubricated the shaft, straightened out one of the augers that had a slight bend in it and proceeded to install the new shear bolts and then started the blower to make sure all was working properly, a job well done in a short period of time.
