They are a DRIVE pin, not a shear pin. They are not intended to shear. There is a shock absorber in the lower unit to protect the drive train. Yep, the same shock absorber that is becoming notorious for breaking. But they break without hitting anything. I think it is metal fatigue from being under constant stress for 60 years.
