There is a shear bolt earlier in the transmission than this is. Previous installation had no provision to shear at this point. When I first got this spreader (might be the best $500 I ever spent) I was using Grade 2 bolts at the shear location, but really went through them fast and since this is loaded by the forkful, i.e. pretty easily shredded material, I changed over to Grade 5 and have lost a couple of them on heavier loads without destroying the rest of the unit yet so will probably keep going with that approach.
Parts Availability - I had to search a little bit through AGCO"s web site to find a dealer, closest is ~1 hour drive, but they found the part on another dealer"s shelf out West somewhere. He was probably just happy to see it leave his inventory. It is still available, but wait was 3-4 weeks. My assumption is that they don"t make one until they sell it at this point. As mentioned the rivet or pin that holds this to the shaft is NLA. It did set me back $100 for the part, but sure can't replace the spreader for that.
