Mark,
My Walker has no gaskets, so I don't think you need one.
I suspect the gap is so small that it's not a consideration.
Good mixing,

Hello to all:
I just got my Walker motor back from being rebuilt. Now I am trying to
put the finishing touches on it and when going to put the front piece on
(front piece meaning the one that covers the front of the auger and also becomes
the front of the hopper) I am realizing that I do not have a gasket for
between the two pieces nor do I know if it ever had one or ever even came with one.
I think one should be there should it not ? I would think that clay would
come squishing out of the seams if there was no gasket. Does anyone have an
answer to my dilemma? Does anyone know, or are we guessing?
If anybody can help me out I would be very grateful:
Thank you :

Paul is correct. There is no gasket. Just tighten down all those little
nuts and bolts. It doesn't ooze clay.
Walker are very efficient but have really sharp blades.
Best wishes,
