shear pins

[compute_a_nerd]

Hello forum.
My name is Chris. Cheers to whoever created this forum, it is a priceless resource.

I have a walker mower, and I was just wondering if anyone knows of a good website to buy parts from, specifically shear pins. There has got to be a place you can buy a large quantity for a discount. As it stands I am paying about $3.00 for 12. Is this reasonable, or are there better deals out there?
Thanks a lot
Chris

That's a decent price, but why do you want so many? What are your guys hitting with a precision machine like a Walker (I have 3 and shear pins are a rarity for changes). The only way I see getting a discount is finding the distributor for your dealer and seeing if you can open an account.

The only place i have problems is a strip alongside a highway. Beer bottles, misc rocks and random debris appear. I don't go through all that many, but I thought it would be nice just to get a tub to always have on hand.
Thanks
Chris

Go to a local machinist and have him make some for you. I get about 50 for $5.
