I have a 2005-2006 Husqvarna snowblower model 10530SBE. Last week my son hit something and one of the two front auger shear bolts did it's job. I went to my local Husqvarna dealer to get part number 532 18 82-43, a lkit of 6 shear bolts and 6 locking nuts. They tool the part number and called me today to say it was in.
When I got it, there were 2 bolts, 2 spacers and 2 locking nuts were in a Briggs & Stratton parts bag. They are clearly NOT the same kind of shear bolt as the one that failed, just two simple, common Grade 2 steel 1/4-20 x 2" long cadmium plated hex head bolts, threaded to the head. The bag shows Briggs & Stratton part number 1501216MA.
I was told that the 532 18 82-43 part number was no longer available and this was the replacement. Further, I was told that these are the bolts now used in new machines. A large label inside shows another part number, presumably from the parts warehouse, 601 00 19-86.
What confuses me is that the NEW snowblowers on the sales floor clearly have the gold alodine plated special bolt that have a turned diameter under the flanged head, same os on my machine and as shown in the parts manual. I have a feeling that my Husqvarna dealer bought from a non-authorized warehouse and got "good enough for you" kind of parts.
Is the OEM part 532 18 82-43 truly no longer available, or do I just need to find a dealer who will sell me GENUINE Husqvarna replacement parts?
I'm looking to buy a cab and snow chains for a 10530SBE snow thrower. Would like to buy original Husqvarna equipment as opposed to universal fit parts. Some information is available on the website, but it doesn't say specifically if the parts fit this machine. I was wondering what the official part numbers were that would fit.
I will take a photo this evening when I get home from work to try to post here... luckily it severed at the very end by where the eyelet was crimped on but other than that I don't know how to fix this.
