I dont have the specs on this computer but if I was stranded I would not think twice
to use one, the man I talked to at the Tractor shop said they were the same

Do a search for winch shear pins. (Before something more expensive breaks!)

If your doing winch work, you need extra shear pins. The forward/reversing of the winch, under normal loads, will cause the pin to fatigue & shear. BUT, if your shearing good fresh pins, your in an overload situation. The winch should do all the work you need done, at not much more then an idle on the engine. If you speed the engine, it should only be to increase the line speed. If you need more power, put two parts in your line with a snatch block - something is surely going to move then.

Saturn may still have some...They were $3.50 each.
The key is to determine what alloy they are. I am thinking 2011-T3 would do fine... Any thoughts?

I did post the alloy some time ago, but "search" doesn't help me here. I had found the alloy except for the temper (T3, T4 etc)....bottleworks said:
Found this after a lot of searching:
http://steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=16075&highlight=
...... the alloy for the 260 series 5-ton winch (5315-00-209-7979), it is the 2017, probably -T4 temper, which has a shear strength of 38,000 psi.
It's a start...

Yes, we know that. It is the type of aluminum that we need. Different alloys have different strengths.wiggall said:
