Last year in 2011 I bought a brand new Bob Cat 72 inch front mounted snow blower, But I am having some trouble
I keep breaking shear pins, replacing shear pin is not easy you have to line up the hogger and the shaft, and when it's the rear middle impeller shear pins that breaks that one is even harder to line up. also the gears at the back of the unit are always falling off, it's a big job to put them back together, you have to remove the rear cover, then you have to remove the chain and gears, then put it back together and tighten the set screws, but it keeps happening, I do not know why,
My cousins has a rear mount snow blower, ( Kubota) when we snow blow side by side I break shear pins he does not I have 3 shear pins he has one,
I am not impress with the way my blower is built, Any one else having trouble with their blowers? Any comment would be appreciated, if it has happen to you and you know how to fix it, let me know.
Thank you.
