Old Craftsman Snowblower Square Pin
I recently was given a very old Craftsman 6HP with a 20-21" scoop.
snowblower. It started on one pull and ran perfectly but in testing I found the auger was slipping. On further inspection I can see the chain is badly stretched. I could pull it off easily with just my hands. I proceeded to pull the cover off and when investigating the chain a small rectangular pin about an inch long fell out of the engage/disengage mechanism on the transmission shaft. I'm guessing it is some kind of shearing pin but for the life of me I cannot figure out where this pin goes? |

The square pin you are refering to is a keyway from the auger drive.
Look on the shaft (coupling) that drives the auger Jack wrote: wrote: I recently was given a very old Craftsman 6HP with a 20-21" scoop. snowblower.

I went there on a drill I have that was about 30 yrs old and up it came. Also they still had parts. |
