Rated from the listing's specs, no buyer reviews yet
What it's made for: keeping spare pins in the garage.
Two shear pin kits for the same part number, closest to it on our rating, each with a dated price.
What it has going for it
Shear pins + cotters. They are meant to snap when the auger hits a frozen newspaper or a chunk of ice, so the gearbox doesn't. Spares taped to the handle turn a ruined morning into a five-minute fix.
The listing names part 738-04124 and MTD, Craftsman, Cub Cadet and Troy-Bilt 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 Vvluvva Shear & Cotter Pins listing names:
Hold the part number against your manual and the model plate before you order.
On Sep 30, 2026, that price put it around the middle of the 11 shear pin kits we have a recent price for.
A part that doesn't fit is a return, not a bargain, so match the part number before the price.

Our take
The Vvluvva Shear & Cotter Pins is about spare pins plus cotters, and it doesn't pretend to be more. No buyer reviews yet, so this Vvluvva shear pin kit has to win you over on paper. The catch with the Vvluvva: 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 Potiarey Shear & Cotter Pins (30 + 30) first.
Before the Vvluvva Shear & Cotter Pins goes in your cart, check your model number: it is sold as part 738-04124 for MTD and Craftsman, 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.
How the Vvluvva Shear & Cotter Pins stacks up against the closest alternative, the Potiarey Shear & Cotter Pins (30 + 30).
| Criterion | Vvluvva Shear & Cotter Pins | Potiarey Shear & Cotter Pins, 30 + 30 |
|---|---|---|
| Our rating | 6.4/10 | 6.4/10 |
| Count | Not stated | 30 |
| Part number | 738-04124 | 738-04124A |
| Fits | MTD, Craftsman, Cub Cadet and Troy-Bilt | MTD, Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt and Craftsman |
Both score 6.4/10. The Potiarey Shear & Cotter Pins (30 + 30) adds 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.
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 spare pins plus cotters. These are the seller's figures, not our measurements: whether it fits your exact machine is worth confirming first.
