Anyone who’s worked on a PTO-driven auger, feed mixer, or gearbox knows that coupling spider—the little rubber piece that sits between the coupling halves—takes a real beating. When yours starts cracking or gets chewed up, you’ll feel vibration and hear rattling that wasn’t there before. This replacement spider gets your coupling running smooth and quiet again, just like it should.
Key Features
- Made from Buna-N rubber that’s designed to handle oil, grease, and weathering without breaking down
- Handles up to 1 degree of angular misalignment and 0.015 inches of parallel misalignment, so you don’t need perfect shaft alignment
- Works reliably in temperatures from -40 to 212 degrees, covering everything from winter mornings to hot summer days
- Drop-in replacement that installs in the center of your L095 coupling bodies without any modifications
Built for Real Farm Work
This spider works with L095 series Lovejoy couplings that you’ll find on all kinds of farm equipment—from grain handling systems to manure spreaders to feed mixers. These couplings are popular because they don’t need lubrication and they handle the constant starting, stopping, and direction changes that farm equipment dishes out.
Made to Last
The Buna-N material is specifically chosen for agricultural use because it stays flexible even when exposed to hydraulic fluid, diesel fuel, and the temperature swings that come with outdoor equipment. It’s built to absorb shock and vibration while keeping your driveline components protected from wear.
Good to Know
Replacing the spider is straightforward—just separate the coupling halves and pull out the old one. The new spider should slide in snug but not tight. If it seems loose, check that you’ve got the right size for your coupling. A quick tip: when you’re putting things back together, a little grease on the spider makes assembly easier and helps with break-in.
