Snow blower auger shear pin kit. The kit contains four shear pins and retainers.
When a Troy-Bilt snowblower won't start or loses power mid-storm, the repair is usually straightforward. Carburetors get gummed up from ethanol fuel, belts wear and slip, and shear pins break exactly as designed when the auger hits ice. Repair Clinic stocks OEM Troy-Bilt parts for 2-stage and single-stage models — the same parts your dealer carries, shipped fast.
Common failures on Troy-Bilt snowblowers include carburetor issues (hard start, won't run), auger and drive belt wear (no throw, won't move), and worn skid shoes and scraper bars that reduce snow ejection. Spark plugs and air filters are seasonal consumables. Enter your Troy-Bilt model number to see exact parts for your machine.
Carburetor problems top the list — hard starts and no-start conditions, almost always from ethanol damage to fuel. Stale fuel left in the tank over spring and summer corrodes the carburetor's float, needle, and jets. A carburetor rebuild kit or complete carburetor replacement gets the engine running again. Always drain old fuel before storing a Troy-Bilt for the off-season.
Shear pins break when the auger hits a solid object (ice chunk, rock, hidden debris). You'll hear a loud crack or clunk, and the auger stops turning while the engine still runs. The shear pin did its job — it protected the transmission from damage. Buy a 5-pack of OEM Troy-Bilt shear pins and keep spares in your equipment shed. They're inexpensive and beat being stranded mid-storm.
Belts can't be repaired — they must be replaced. If the auger won't turn or the snowblower won't move forward, the auger belt or drive belt has slipped or broken. Troy-Bilt snowblowers typically use two belts: one drives the auger, one drives the wheels. Measure the old belt (length, width, and rib count) or use your model number to order the exact replacement. Installing both at once is always the smart move.
Model numbers are stamped or stickered on the frame — usually near the engine or on the main chassis below the chute. It looks like a series of numbers and letters (example: 31AE, 31AS, 31BM). Enter it into Repair Clinic's model lookup tool to see every part diagram and OEM part for your specific machine. The model number ensures you order the right carburetor, belt, and control cables that fit your frame and engine.

Troy-Bilt places the model number on a label or stamped plate in several easy-to-reach spots, including the frame behind the engine, beneath the handle panel, or on the auger housing. Look for a combination of letters and numbers, and copy it exactly, including any dashes or slashes. Enter that number in the Repair Clinic search bar to narrow the complete Troy-Bilt snowblower parts catalog to parts that fit your machine. The model number identifies the whole unit, so it helps match everything from belts and shear pins to carburetor and engine parts. Using it before you order saves time and helps you get an accurate fit without sorting through unrelated models.
