Put it on a 40hp tractor and the pin should break (no harm done, if the pin breaks, to either tractor or mower). Less than 40hp tractor and you can screw the tractor up. It will break before the gearbox or shearpin. As long as the mower and tractor seem to be working without "loading up", it does not matter what the HP rating is. #2 bolts are generally used for the shearpin.
