What grade steel R the bolts made from i.e. 4,5,8? Ideally, to protect (auger, gear box, etc.) components on a snow thrower grade 3 or 4 is best!

the package says genuine parts and come from mtd, the maker of my snow blower.... on top of bolts SP is stamped in.... don't say any where what grade

they protect the snowblower by being cheap, soft, probably un graded hardware. The idea is if you hit a rock and jam the blade the bolt SNAPS to prevent damaging the machine. They are designed to fail; that is their function. HTH.

Check Morakniv's website they have a lot of really cool information about the differences in steel types. I'm no expert myself.

I've owned the Toro 1800 older model (38025) for around ten years. Live in the snow belt of Northern Michigan (we had nine inches today) and have a driveway with afton stone. My faithful Toro has done a great job of clearing the snow from my drive all these years, but the other day had one stone too many and I cracked the blades. I can get replacement blades and have it fixed (and probably will) but am also seriously looking at the newer model 38371. I looked at the Worx, which has steel blades, but Toro has been so trouble free over all these years, that I'll stick with the brand. BTW, it easily handles 12 inches of dry snow and can even carve through drifts with a bit of patience on the operator's part. EDIT: As it turned out, it would cost me $150 to have my old Toro fixed. No brainer: ordered the 38371 and happy dance, it will be here this Saturday.

I will be very short. It loosen monster frozen bolts like nothing. Best deal I did so far in power tools. It saves my day.

Robert, First the disclaimer, The online manual at http://www.manualowl.com/m/Cub%20Cadet/524-SWE/Manual/335840?page=9 says; "NEVER replace the auger shear pins with anything other than OEM Part No. 738-041241 replacement shear pins. Any damage to the auger gearbox or other components as a result of failing to do so will NOT be covered by your snow thrower's warranty." - Yes, The Cub Cadet 524SWE is built by MTD and these shear pins will fit MTD built snowblowers. That's why the OEM part number '738-041241' and the MTD part number '738-04124' are so similar.

Metal. If you have concerns it should be about the discharge chute which should have bolts, but only has light spot welds. Easy fix, but a pain when it's 0 f. The only other issue is, it wont stay running under -15f but then not many air cooled engines will.

You will need a mid mount for your machine. A set of push tubes and the blade of your choice. I chose the poly blade. I have owned the steel ones also. However after owning both I would only get the poly. It's taller and roles snow better. Hope this helps. Good luck.

By looking at the specifications on the Amazon site, I would guess that Yukon-24 at 8 lb is made out of heavier gauge steel than the 6.4 lb Nordic-24. The heavier shovel will make it easier to push but will be more difficult to lift if you have to throw the snow over a mound after pushing it. I use a Garant YSP24DU and find it well built and am satisfied. It was a bit of a challenge after the last snow (12 inches) since there was already a lot of snow on the sides of the driveway and I had to lift this wet snow over the existing mounds. Incidentally, Garant web site was no use because it does not give any specs. Hope this helps.

Any grade 8 bolt will work. I don't have to worry about rust where I live but people up north rattle can with rustoleum. Hope that helps.

I bought the S30V steel because it is the hardest and densest metal particles available. The others are close but no cigar. The average user will never notice the difference. If you are a blade nut, each blade steel has its advantages and disadvantages. I have some experience with blade steel and put my trust more in the powder steels as best. Remember, when it comes to blade steel, you get what you pay for.

Ok I understand now, really don't know what to tell you, I have no idea of the grade of steel. Sorry I couldn't be of help.Mark

The measurement is about right, but you need to determine the part# from the Toro website. My previous snow blower was the CCR 3650 (have a newer model now which is a little wider) and my records show part# 55-8760 for the scraper, 56-6590 for the bolt (1), and 3296-39 for the nuts (2).

Michael I'm not certain if this will fit. Write Murray an email and they will get back to you. I just don't know enough about your specific answer. I will note when you look at the image the spacer that you see in it should have a space on the impeller that sits on the shaft about the size of the bolt head. That spacer slides into that opening and the bolt through it and the shaft with the nut on the other side. Murray is very different than my other snow thrower (Ariens). Both work great though. I bought the murray used and murray sent me a link to the manual so I could get part numbers. Hope this helps? Michael I'm not certain if this will fit.

Yes, the bolts included are high quality nylon. You might want to consider substituting them with stainless steel bolts, however. My advice would be to try the nylon ones and see if the unit feels secure to you. I went with steel for my mother-in-law, but only because I'm a hardware store geek and this offered one more reason to go shopping.

Thank you for considering AMC Parts Store for your snow thrower parts. Have never heard that the pressure can cause quicker wear but it could be a factor and you may also get better traction with a lower air pressure. Hope this helps. AMC Parts Store

Cold Steel Swords are awesome. Rocks, Trees and small armies should be afraid. I swung right through a 8" tree, the blade went so far through that it surprised me, so it went into a rock and dented the rock pretty good, nearly no blade damage.

Toro 1800 is probably just slightly better than the SnowJoe, but Toro still is poorly designed for anything more than 3 inches of snow. The belts are notorious for breaking/slipping when the Toro is struggling. It seems like Toro will break the belts whenever the snow is more than 3 inches high.You can hear the rotor struggle in more than 3 inches of snow. The key is to shave snow slowly at a time from the top (while your back is aching from the 25 lb weight). My first belt broken after 3 uses. I ordered 2-3 extra belts from Ebay. I wish Toro used metal chains instead of rubber belts. Toro 1800 is probably just slightly better than the SnowJoe, but Toro still is poorly designed for anything more than 3 inches of snow.
