Reply to "Finally sheared an auger pin."

Update....This pin shear problem was on my older model. A 2005 without an IQ 4 controller. The pin change process is the same on all of them though. The hole in the auger shaft had some signs of wear, but the auger itself had a lot of wear. The holes were egg shaped. What I did was, to make a new pin out of 3/16 solid soft metal. With cotter pins and washers on either side. It lets the auger float as before so it doesn't bind up. I am going to order a spare auger motor to have since now I have a total of 7 that could fail. Good to have spare parts in my book. By the way, the guy I bought it from told me he had never had a pin shear. I guess it was due.
