This is our 1971 Ariens Sno-Thro with the 7HP Tecumseh. My father purchased her (brand new) in July of 1971 for 1.00 and she has been maintained every spring with the regular scheduled maintainance.

The "O" ring was hard, slightly ...

How to Replace a Shear Pin on a Two-Stage Snowblower
Shear pins are designed to fail before your snowblower's auger or gears if you hit a rock, chunk of ice, or other object while clearning snow. When this happens, you will have to replace your broken shear pin. Mark is here to show you how. For this video we used an Ariens, two-stage snowblower. The steps for replacing shear pins will be the same for most snowblower models. For lawn equipment parts, visit: www.ereplacementparts.com
