Bernie Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Glad it worked out there Gerritt. As Drifter has mentioned get a proper shear bolt. Might be a good idea to pick up a couple extra ones. Especially if you have a gravel driveway. Have a real close look around the circumference of the auger. There must be a bit of debris jamming it up somewhere. Sometimes the end of the auger can get bent up against the shroud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. could be a piece of gravel, bent blade etc. Look it over carefully. If the shear pin is gone and you can see right through the hole there and the auger won't spin by hand there is definately something jamming it. Find it, remove it and replace the bolt. Check along the leading edge of the scoop for bends or a piece of gravel trapped between it and the auger.
