Well Ray, All I can say is that the model number of the snow blower came right up on JD parts web site and the part numbers priced right out.
I will tell you these things.
1) Frontier is an orphan waiting to happen with JD. They hire other companies to make equipment for JD to sell. It is usually that company's standard equipment just painted green. It usually is over priced for what it is too. JD gives the manufacture a little less than retail and then adds margin to it to the JD dealers. So the JD dealer is usually higher than the original manufacturer's dealers would be.
An example: The rear blades used to be made by Woods. Even had Woods sticker on them. I could buy the blade from the Woods dealer cheaper than we could get it from JD.
2) The parts availability is a joke compared to the regular JD equipment. The Frontier stuff used to be through a completely separate account and distribution system. They are at least putting the newer stuff on the JD parts with the parts diagrams.
Your dealer is pulling something on you. The numbers I gave you are good numbers. I checked with my local dealer. They could get me any of the numbers I listed. Some of them they would have had to order 10 of them but they where/are good numbers.
The whole parts thing on the Frontier equipment is a nightmare.
I hope that you get along fine with what shear bolts you have. IF the originals are that same as what you got then you should be fine. The parts diagrams DO not show 8.8 bolts but 5.8 bolts. These would be grade three. I do not know which is correct as they are telling you two different things.
Truthfully I would match what it came with or find out who builds the blower for JD and try through them to get the correct bolts. I do not trust JD Frontier setup.
