The Toro 38850 is a genuine OEM shear pin specifically designed for use in various Toro Power Max and Power Clear series snow blowers. This essential safety component is engineered to break under excessive load, such as when the auger encounters a foreign object, thereby preventing damage to the more expensive auger gearbox and other critical drive components. Utilizing the correct shear pin ensures reliable operation and extends the lifespan of your snow blower by acting as a sacrificial part.
