Two shear pin kits for the same part number, closest to it on our rating, each with a dated price.



The count the listing states, part 738-04124A. Enough to keep a few in the garage, a few in the house and a couple taped to the handle. When one snaps mid-storm, the fix is a pin out of the bag and five cold minutes.
What it has going for it
For MTD, Cub Cadet and Troy-Bilt. The brands named in the listing. Parts like this are model-specific, so match the part number in your manual before you order.
The listing names part 738-04124A and MTD, Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt and Craftsman machines.
Shear pins are sized to the hole in the auger shaft and made to snap at a set load. Use the part number from your manual; a hardware-store bolt won't break when it should, and the gearbox pays.
What the Potiarey Shear & Cotter Pins (30 + 30) listing names:
Your manual and the model plate on the frame decide the fit, not the photo.

At the price on Sep 30, 2026, each pin works out at about $0.53 (price ÷ stated count, our arithmetic). That puts it in the cheaper third of the 8 shear pin kits we have a price and a stated count for.

Our take
The best thing about the Potiarey Shear & Cotter Pins (30 + 30) is 30 spare pins plus cotters. No buyer reviews yet, so this Potiarey shear pin kit has to win you over on paper. The catch with the Potiarey: it only fits the machines it lists, so check your manual before you order. We'd pick it if you want spare pins in the garage before the storm, not after; otherwise, put it next to the NoetSauesrfs 738-04155 Shear Pins (8) first.
Before the Potiarey Shear & Cotter Pins (30 + 30) ships, check your model number: it is sold as part 738-04124A for MTD and Cub Cadet, and fit is model-specific.
Look for the plate on the frame, usually under the handle or behind the engine, and copy the model and serial numbers into your phone.
Never swap in an ordinary bolt: the whole point is that the pin breaks before the gearbox does. Our shear pin guide shows how to change one.
Parts are easy to fit in a dry garage and miserable mid-storm. Our parts guide lists what is worth stocking.

Pick the NoetSauesrfs 738-04155 Shear Pins (8) if you want our higher-rated option (6.5/10); stay with the Potiarey Shear & Cotter Pins (30 + 30) for more spares (30).
We rate it 6.4/10 (fair). The rating comes from its documented listing alone, as no customer-review record is captured yet.
The listing states a 24 in clearing width. Those are the seller's best-case numbers: wet, heavy snow and the packed ridge the plough leaves both cut the throw short. Our clearing-width planner counts how many passes your driveway takes at that width.
Only if your manual agrees. A listing that names a long list of compatible machines is the seller's claim, not proof of fit: match the part number in your operator manual before you order.
Its listing states 30 spare pins plus cotters. These are the seller's figures, not our measurements: whether it fits your exact machine is worth confirming first.
Your model number: look for the plate on the frame, usually under the handle or behind the engine, and copy the model and serial numbers into your phone. Shear pins only: never swap in an ordinary bolt: the whole point is that the pin breaks before the gearbox does. Our shear pin guide shows how to change one. Do it in October: parts are easy to fit in a dry garage and miserable mid-storm. Our parts guide lists what is worth stocking.
