Ouch, I know what you mean, the gearbox on my Walker Pugmill is over
$500.00 dollars to repair!! To replace it, they said I would have to
replace the motor as well. The estimate for that was over $1200.00! I
figured it was beginning to look like if I went that route I might as
well get a new pugmill.

I know, some of you think my Walker pugmill is a walking death trap and
I would be well off to get rid of it. But it has sentimental value and
I generally "try" to be careful. (I'm not quite the idiot I was in my
younger years). I once chopped off the end of one of my fingers trying
to play a trick on a friend, but that's a different story.
