    Front entrance looks good but that pattern hurts my brain. Also with your snowblower ensure you have a few extra shear pins on hand because snow can be brutal on snowblowers and you'll be in the middle of clearing snow and lose a pin and then stuck.
    Yah, I'm not 100% convinced I like the siding myself to be honest, it came out how I expected it, but at the same time, depending on lighting, I either like it a bit, or like it a lot haha, so yah...we will see, will grow on me, it has to....for the price I paid for it and the effort I put in

    Regarding the shear pins, I heard about those, but was under the assumption those blow if you catch a rock or something, but not a bad idea anyways. Never had a snow blower....first time ever using it will be the first real snowfall (probably not today..let it melt)

    Really like the front entrance. Simple, functional, stylish. Approved.

    Heavy wet snow can break shear pins. There purpose is to basically save the machine if it gets jammed or has issues.

    Since you seem to be an expert in the field....are shear pins kind of universal, or do I have to go to Kubota to buy them (pain the ass, far away)

    Nah shear pins can be used from anywhere. Just match up to what you have and keep a couple extra. People like to use bolts for shear pins which can work in a pinch, but shear pins are designed to break when under tension.

    Pretty much universal but you will need the size (usually standard, not metric) and the length. Don't forget the nuts.

    Awesome, thanks. I actually just called Kubota and got all the info I needed, and the guy said the same thing, just match the specs and you are good to go, don't need to be a Kubota part, so will try to track some down locally, and failing that, order online. The two Kubota dealers are so far away from me...that I much rather not make the trek for some bolts! Thanks for the tip. I am sure it will save me a ton of frustration should one break mid-plow.

    Trying to find a good source that isn't middle of no-where. Lots of online stores don't mention specs, so just looking around now. If anyone knows a local store that could stock appropriate selection would be great. Need 5/16 x 2 1/4 GR5 bolts. Seems like online sometimes you get the dimensions, but not the grade, and if you get a grade 2 bolt, you will be replacing them all the time as they are too weak, or a GR8 bolt which may not shear and cause damage instead. Trying not to wreck a very expensive blower, and yah, was thinking of buying 10 or so of them. They are $4.63 each at Kubota, might just end up making the drive and picking up there.

    Those seem like just bolts, ones that I saw and match the kubota part number have a groove in them to actually define the shear line. I will keep looking.

    Try UFA. At least they will know what you are talking about. They should have them. Any agricultural dealer will know what you need.

    One of the Princess Auto ones is likely right.
