I'm pretty sure the sale on snow blowers at home depot was while quantities lasted.
Every home depot local to me on long island has sold out and has lawn tractors
and patio furniture out now.

I bought some some hex bolts this afternoon that fit perfect to get me through this storm.
I'll call Ariens on monday to have the missing parts shipped.

I have four Home Depots very close to me and not one had a single snow blower left!

I guess I should be happy just to have gotten one at the heavily discounted price.
No axle lock pins on new 926LE

Well I bought a 926LE new in the box from Home Depot taking advantage of the great savings.
I put everything together but found out there were no axle lock pins on the snow blower, and nowhere
to be found in the packaging. The store I bought it from is cleaned out of snow blowers and I would
assume the other Home Depots in my area are probably sold out as well ( I'll check tomorrow). 
The home depot I bought the snow blower did give me a set of lock pins when I went back
(Generic, off the shelf I guess) but they were small and didn't fit properly.

Of course here on Long Island we are waiting for the BIG snow fall this weekened so I'm short
on time for a solution.

If I can't find pins locally that fit do you think it would be OK to use shear pins for a temporary solution?
The extra set of shear pins that the snow blower came with fit pretty well in the axle.

Does anyone know of a dealer/repair shop in suffolk county Long Island that sells these parts?
I plan on calling Ariens, but I need parts now. I really don't want to sufffer through another big storm
with my old Toro S200.

Thanks.
