Shear pin for John Deere Flail Chopper

jacksonduper · Dec 5, 2009

I have a John Deere 15 Flail chopper. There is a shear pin that goes in the drive sprocket for the auger. I busted the pin last night and I was wondering if there was a standard size for the pin on these types of sprockets. I looked it up on John Deere parts site and it just says shear pin. I would like get a few at farm store rather than driving the extra miles to John Deere. I just bought this old chopper to cut down and feed some late planted corn. It has been working great until I sheared a pin last night. I know I could just get a bolt but I should be able to buy replacement shear pins at the farm store right.

Shear pins are usually special so they cannot be farmerized and cause problems with wrong (high) shear value. Buy the correct ones.

It's been a while, but I think that shear pin was just a common roll pin the right diameter and length. There may be one or two stashed away in my toolbox, I'll try to remember to look in the morning.
