The zinc coated bolt comment was just your fun fact for the day. Where did you find the 2024T361 spec? I read a Mil issued work order for the M44 series shear pin that said 2017. Maybe you found something newer than what I did. From the testing that was done I initially thought they were 2024...

Stretch is right, this is the thread for shear pin related questions. Sorry for blasting down your question. This site is great for asking questions and the people here are helpful. I meant to be helpful and push the ''aluminium only''. Didn't mean to step on toes. The type of brass used in the...

Can this thread be locked? There is a reason why everyone says to only use the Aluminium pin for the winch. Anything else will cause damage. If you need more pulling power, double, triple or quadruple the winch line. With 200+ feet of cable you can do that and not harm anything. Sure it may be...

•Cables break when misused or damaged. •Yep it's under rated, get a snatch block. •When I broke my shear pin, the winch just stopped. No cable lash.

6061 t6 is weaker than the stock pin. If you try it let me know how it does. For $3 it may be worth a shot.

I kind of dropped off looking for this, other things going on. I contacted a bunch of distributors and the ones that did contact me back didn't have what I was looking for. I'm going to try a local place again for 5/16" 2024 and see what kind of strength that yields.

2011T3 32,000 psi shear strength. 2024T4 about 42,000 PSI shear. GI original is about 44-45,000 psi.

What I was trying to do was find the right rod stock so that anyone here could buy it and hack saw off the appropriate length and drill a couple of cotter holes in it. I think the 2024 Aluminum in a T3,T4,or T361 would be almost exactly what the Gi issue ones are. And the Gi ones are about 9/32"...

No that's not what I meant. I will not use a bolt but was going to try to use 5/16" 2024 T3 Aluminum round rod instead of the hard to find , no one will call me back about, oem size!

A 5/16" bolt fits through the hole, anyone put a caliper on the yoke yet? Too cold for me today! Maybe tomorrow!

Ideally you want the pin as tight as possible. So there isn't any "slapping" that could cause premature shear. But it would probably work just as well if you are gentle with it.

By looking at your data above and I could be wrong but 160 lb/ft should yield about 45,000 psi shear strength. So you should be looking for 2024 in a t4 or t351 temper which has about 42,00 psi shear. The 6061 t6 only has about 30,000 psi and I recall reading that someone tried this for a shear...
