Odd situation with shear pins and my blower

I'm glad we discussed this. As I was going through the info from my blower manufacturer, the auger bolt is a grade 2 not a grade 8. I'm glad I got that straightened out, now I will double check that the stock I keep on the tractor are #2 not #8. The PTO shaft is still a grade 5.

I had a neighbor that swapped out shear bolts on his walk behind blower because he got tired of replacing bolts. He destroyed drive system. Snapped into pieces from grade8 bolts.
