Ok,,, I'll jump in on the great pin debate The soft bronxe sounds good, but, I've just used 5/16" grade 2 or grade 5 bolts in my 48 PW/MU2. I've sheared a few doing the overloading routine on the winch. No damage was done using these softer type steel bolts.
As it's a pain in the a** to punch out the section of sheared bolt stuck in the shaft, I finally graduated to using a snatch block. Ain't no Juniper stump gonna get the best of me now...
