Shear bolts on snowblower fan keep snapping
i have a cub cadet 3185 with a Bercomac two stage snowblower. Ran it last night in about 6" and it did great. Still runs well today with 2 feet on the ground but I keep snapping shear bolts and I am worried I am going to run out.
How tight should these be when replacing? Maybe that is my problem I have been leaving a little play in them should there be? It has a nylon lock nut.
I am letting the snow slowly feed in there isnt any rhyme or reason to when they break it seems like it is nearly every 15min.
thanks for your input.
