The 5 ton front winch shear pin is simply a peice of 3/8" Aluminum about 4 1/2 inches long with a small hole in each end for a cotter pin. The cotter pins
simply keep the pin in the hole. There really isn't anything to turn. If you can get the proper mil-spec aluminum alloy, in 3/8 round stock for the 5 ton, just cut
if off and drill two holes and you are done. You can't get much simpler than that. If you can find out what alloy is used, it is probably available from just
about any metal supplier. I can't believe it was anything exotic as these trucks were designed long ago.
