Title: Arrow Specialties Crester Parts
Post by: Grey Taylor on February 09, 2012, 04:14:00 AM
I have an Arrow Specialties crester and need to replace the O-ring that goes around the drive wheel. Does anyone know a particular part number with a company like McMaster Carr or Grainger that I can order?

Thanks,  Guy

Might be able to replace with an O ring from the auto parts store. Not familiar with that crester.

Check your bigger hardware stores. My Ace Hardware carries a large selection of O rings

I have the same crester and love it.  Yes check Ace hardware or other hardware stores you will be able to find O-rings there.

Most hardware stores carry Buna-N o-rings. That is not a good material for crester tires. It deteriorates quickly. McMaster Carr is the way to go.

Thanks to everyone for your help. Tree Rat's advice on the material is particularly helpful as I'd like this to last for awhile without having to replace it for some time. McMaster Carr has a pretty large selection of O-rings in various materials so I'll be browsing their website for the right one.

Maybe if someone calls him to ask him to sell a o-ring kit. They are the best crestor out there. I have had mine since they started making them. I replaced one of the small o-rings.

Paul, that's great to know that such a fine tool may be back on the market. I'll drop him a line.

Ralphie, I had the same result. I have not been able to get in touch with Arrow Specialties.
