True,
My shock was at the fact that it is aluminum.
I have used shear pins for years in power-takeoffs on tractors ect. but they
use soft steel, and can be replaced with a soft bolt.
An Aluminum pin could be hard to find NOS, so what else works when you wipe
out 3 or 4 at a time?
Never done that? Have you ever stuck a deuce to the frame in justsoft mud?

Yeah, but that's the whole point of a _shear_ pin. Either you use it as it's
designed, or if you'd like you could replace it with some CroMo, and then
replace other more expensive parts when they break instead. Your choice :)
