BX2816 Snowblower

[CalG]

I also have problems getting things lined up with my Berco snowblower for my tractor. The machining of the holes are a very close tolerance so getting them lined up precisely to punch them through is fun(?). A bright light and a magnifying glass helped me see better. Was still a lesson in patience to keep trying to get it lined up. Pondering when I take it apart to lube the shafts next summer I may try to color the shaft so the bolt shows up better.

The best solution is to use proper shear bolts with reduced sections at the shear interface.
When they fail with overload, the "left behind" center section has a nice little tit defining the center. Easy to see, self starting when driven out. Win Win!

Down side? They cost three bucks! I just purchased four at my Kubota dealer.
