OTC gear pullers.

[caterpillar guy]

I'm looking for parts for a 1011-A OTC gear puller. It has one jaw missing to make a 3 jaw puller and need to find one. Bought the puller cheap so now want the third jaw. 2 jaw pullers are about as useful as junk. Need the tonnage of the puller. The jaws size would not matter much as long as they met the tonnage so I didn't break them in the future.

45 years ago I bought a man's lifetime collection of tools.
I have a drawer full of antique gear pullers. None of them have part numbers.
Post a pic of what you need along with measurements and I'll see if I have one.
Gear pullers are becoming scarce at flea markets. You never know what you may find at flea markets.

The company is still in business. Try them for parts for your puller.

Several years ago I purchased a new wall cabinet set of OTC pullers. I just went out and looked and that number puller is in my set so it's still being produced. OTC should have the pieces you need.

Thankyou guys. I Looked at a parts catalog for OTC and it didn't show that particular puller though it showed a couple with slightly different numbers on them. I will have to look more when the puller get here so I can see just what I have better. I will also see about parts through OTC or a dealer for them. Seems like all these tool companies have quit selling direct anymore unlike it was 15-40 years ago.

George: Don't see flea markets here anymore besides who wants to buy fleas if they don't have animals . LOL As for the used market Only see pawn shops around here and most are not in a section of Flint,Lansing, and Saginaw that I want to go to now days. If they are they want new price for things.

I contacted OTC about the parts for the puller. IT has been discontinued and is now replaced with the 1026 puller the same parts as the 1011-A I got. So now when the parts get hear I can solve that issue. Parts were surprisingly cheap for that type of thing I thought. JAw is 20.00and the straps are 6.00 each so 30.00 will fix it with the 3rd jaw on it. I thought they would be much more . The bolts were the costly thing at 14.00 each no nuts for that. or at least nothing said about them. Also priced a 1038 puller at 200.00 for it complete new.

If you got along with cheap or improvised pullers like I did for years you will really like that one. There is a reason the bolts cost so much, they are very hard.

I see what looks like hash marks indicating a grade 5or8 on the bolts in the new pullers they list for sale on their website.

What makes the jaw pivot bolts unique/special/$$$ is that they have a long unthreaded area and very short threads.

The unthreaded area is long enough to pass through both straps and the jaw so the stress of pulling is not applied to the threaded area.
