Anybody have any shear pins for a deuce winch at a fair price?

scary thought, me thinks this pin is a special alloy.

kinda, but a grade 3 bolt shears first. I have used it for years with my tractor. an older Massey Ferguson
and no I dont use it much at all

Is the bolt to weak?

dc3coyote · 06-09-2008, 22:17

I dont have the specs on this computer but if I was stranded I would not think twice
to use one, the man I talked to at the Tractor shop said they were the same

Do a search for winch shear pins. (Before something more expensive breaks!)

If your doing winch work, you need extra shear pins. The forward/reversing of the winch, under normal loads, will cause the pin to fatigue & shear. BUT, if your shearing good fresh pins, your in an overload situation. The winch should do all the work you need done, at not much more then an idle on the engine. If you speed the engine, it should only be to increase the line speed. If you need more power, put two parts in your line with a snatch block - something is surely going to move then.
