Hi,

For some reason I just can't simply append to the original Thread.
No idea why. Using Thunderbird.
So, will have to start a new one. Sorry.

Does the Ariens Snowblower Impeller also have a Shear Pin like the Auger
does ?

I always thought the only shear pins were for the Auger, but can, as
usual, be wrong.

Thanks again,
Bob
There is a roll pin holding the impeller to the shaft on MOST ariens
blowers. Not supposed to act as a shear pin - but has been known to
fail that way - particularly if yoy pick up a rock or a REAL hard
chunk of ice and it jams in hard.
