Two stage snowbower auger shear bolt – arrived just in time
This shear bolt fit perfectly in the Ariens 2 stage snowblower shaft. Ariens could’ve done a better job showing the shear bolt shaft locations for the two augers.
It just so happens that both locations are on the same spot on main drive shaft. I was just lucky that one auger bolt was not sheared so it give me a clue as to where the second location on the main shaft was.

Rock caught in auger blades broke one shear bolt.

Difficulty

Time
15-30 minutes
Tools Used
Socket set, Adjustable Wrench, Hammer and punch (nail set)
Parts Used
Tilted snow blower back on handles. Turned blades by hand, looking for hole for new bolt.
Couldn't find hole for a few minutes because of grease on axle and old bolt remained in hole.
When I was sure I had the hole I used a hammer and punch to remove the shaft of the broken bolt.
I slipped new bolt in the hole in axle but had difficulty turning nut on bolt. I used a wrench to hold the nut while torquing the head of bolt with a socket wrench, making sure I hadn't cross-threaded. I stopped turning when nut and bolt head were snug against the axle. Snow blower running fine after the repair. Of course, catch of another rock will be the acid test.

Using a punch I drove out the remaining shear pin material.
Aligning auger shaft hole with power shaft I slipped new bolt thru and tightened nut.
Very simple repair. I bought an extra sher pin just in case the other auger shear breaks in future snow removal work.
