Murray 1501216ma Shear Bolt Kit

Product Description

The MURRAY 1501216ma is a shear bolt kit designed for use in Murray outdoor power equipment. Shear bolts are a critical safety and drivetrain component — they are engineered to break under excessive load, protecting the auger, impeller, or blade drive from more costly damage. This kit provides replacement shear bolts sized to factory specification, making it a straightforward field repair for technicians and equipment owners servicing Murray units. Keeping this kit on hand reduces downtime when a shear bolt fails during normal operation.

This kit is suited for Murray lawn and garden equipment that uses shear bolt protection in the drivetrain. Typical applications include snow throwers and other Murray outdoor power equipment where the auger or blade drive assembly relies on shear bolts as sacrificial fasteners. Installation is performed during routine maintenance or after an overload event that causes the original bolt to shear.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by equipment technicians or knowledgeable operators. Always disconnect the spark plug wire and ensure the engine is off and all moving parts have stopped before replacing shear bolts. Use the correct fastener size and torque to hand-tight plus the manufacturer-specified turn — do not substitute standard grade bolts for shear bolts, as non-shear fasteners will not provide the intended drivetrain protection. Consult the equipment service manual for the correct procedure.
