alabama Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 If you're talking about the rubber spider gear that fits between the love-joy coupling, I used to get them at a welding supply store for about $4.00 apiece. My Bluebird pug mill has one. Start locally with stores in your area. They shouldn't be that hard to find... I bought mine at Apel Welding Supply in Hanceville, Ala. Maybe check a hardware store or even Grangers. The spider gears come in 3 different sizes and prices. You probably know that only 3 of the rubber prongs are used at a time so if you keep an eye one the one currently used and catch it before its completely chewed up, slide the coupling apart and rotate the spider washer/grommet/gear one tooth, and you get a "new" gear!!! Good luck! See ya, Alabama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alabama Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Hey, I'm not sure what size your pug mill needs, but I'm assuming the spider bushing of the walker pug mill is similar to a bluebird. There are about 3 types and maybe 4 sizes. The three types are open, solid, and "L". Mine are the solid type, so to find out what yours needs do a Bing search for " solid elastomeric spider". Get you dimensions and we'll find the one you need.!! . I saw some on Amazon too! See ya, Alabama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alabama Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Hey, My spider bushing. Measures 2.12 inches across and has the number 11070 inside. I'll look for some around Wetumpka and run by Apels if I have to. I have found them on the web, from 3.71 each to 8.50 each. In trying to find a replacement for you, I found out I need one also. I keep spares under the pugmill along with the allenhead wrench that fits the coupling!!!. See ya, Alabama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biglou13 Posted March 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 my WALKER is a friends place. so i haven't had chance to drive and measure. BIG Thanks for your help!!!! If you find one. buy 2 and i'll buy one for you ( as long as they are not stupid expensive).... consider it a finders fee...... where are you measuring from on bushing??? are they all the same? any notes on "changing oil"?

Pres Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 The oil was a 90# gear lube oil that we used on ours at school if my memory serves me well. Best, Pres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvin Horn Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 I rebuilt a Walker in August 2014 and found the spiders here :http://www.richardscompany.com/ I think I bought 2 for $52.23, They were so hard to fnid I decided to buy a spare. You'll need the coupling spec. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
