Default Throwing H42 blower shear pin??

I have thrown the shear pin out of my H42 blower twice now, it has the "key ring" type retainer. doesn't shear just comes out? will try to wire it in this time, I always find the pin just not the ring and the ring was about 50 cents more than the pins? Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,
Vic

Could you be more specific on which pin? The one on the driveshaft just off the gearbox? Pic, part number, anything would help.

Sorry, you guys are so good sometimes I forget you can't read minds (or maybe you just choose not to, probably a good idea).
It would be on the first u-joint collar out of the gear box.
Thanks,
Vic

Sounds like the hole is sloppy. Wireing it in might work and you could try some loctite too.

The hole is sloppy, so much so that I don't think the loctite would work.

Could you drill it and get a bigger pin?

The pin just falls out? It doesn't break? If so, use a cotter pin on it. Or just put a bolt in it.

Near as I can figure the little key chain style ring on the end that goes through a hole must come off somehow?? then it falls out, so far it has happened twice and each time I find the pin right where it stopped of course but never find the ring. For some reason I kept thinking "hitch" type pin, but I like the idea of a cotter pin, should have thought of that, that won't fall out!
Thanks guys!
Vic

In your first post you said the pin was a shearpin. I'm not familiar with that model blower but, if it is in fact a shearpin you should be careful about what you use as a pin. Shearpins are soft so they break before something else does.

I have not researched it but I would guess that a cotter pin is softer than either a shearpin or bolt.
Therefore I would try the cotter pin, knowing it might get sheared sooner rather than later.
But that is okay.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
