Walton's Mixer with other grinders
-
Your carnivore looks identical to all i have seen on the shelf at Cabelas and my new #22. I dont think any changes were made in the carnivore line since they have been in production.
This is what the old cabelas (pre carnivore) grinders look like. This is my #12 20210219_091950.jpg

smokinbubba Here’s three shots. The first is off of the Cabelas site of the new grinder, the second is a side view of mine and the third is the hub and splines. I didn’t have a tape measure with me. I am working on my fire to get dinner smoked right now (while I finally have some time at home…) It’s fairly obvious that they either went with a new manufacturer or just updated the aesthetics. The on/off switch is different, the drawer is in a different position and the shrouding around the motor is a lot different. I feel bad talking about a competitor’s brand on Walton’s site but I hope it can help people until they find the need to upgrade their grinder and maybe move to a Walton’s.

WOW, there is a difference. My #22 looks just like yours with the storage drawer on the front. The newest rendition has the drawer on the side. Mine does have a reverse switch tho as do all sizes currently sold. So there are different “generations” of the cabelas carnivore grinders. I doubt Austin and Jon mind us talking about competitors grinders since we are really trying to find other grinders that their mixer will fit. I may be wrong. I know many folks want to buy the Walton’s mixer but are scared that it wont fit a grinder they already have. Look at the Q&A section on their mixer at Waltons inc. Lots of people are asking what the mixer will fit. When you get a chance, please measure the hub and see if it is close to 2.5" so we can share the findings. Thx

smokinbubba will do. I’m once again at work… I hope they don’t mind us talking about this. What I hope to do is generate more sales for them because this community has done a lot for me already. The obvious choice is to get Walton’s equipment when able or needed. That is what I’m going to do.

My new 50# Waltons mixer fits on my LEM #8. Ran over 200# through it Saturday. My son was thinking he was getting a cheap grinder since I purchased a #32. Sorry
Grandpa butchered 80 hogs the year he was 80. I buy pork butts to make sausage.

RandyNight what does your LEM hub measure? Is it a perfect fit 3/4"x 6 spline shaft?
-
The ID of the LEM hub is 2.125. The 3/4 x 6 spline shaft seems to fit perfectly. Saturday our daughter made a mistake mixing the seasonings on a 25 lb batch and we had to double it and it turned the overfull mixer load fine.

RandyNight So, is the waltons mixer hub 2"?? Now I see how the Waltons mixer will fit many grinder manufacturers. (this is good!) A 2" mixer hub will fit any grinder hub larger than 2" but obviously not smaller. IE: LEM at 2.125, Cabelas 2.5
seems everyone uses a 3/4" x 6spline shaft to drive it allLooks like Cabelas mixers will only fit Cabelas grinders with both being 2.5" Go figure…

RandyNight This speaks volumes as to the quality of the Waltons mixer. I would never do that with my Cabelas unit! I don’t have that much faith in the gears.

Walton mixer hub just a bit over 2" but a slip fit

RandyNight You happen to have a picture of the two mated up?

No go with Grandpa’s #12 Stimson, it has a square shaft!

I’ll bet that old beast has heard a few stories over the years!

Nice Jeep in the background. CJ model?

Mike Sample Yep, 78 model. Our 19 yo twins have that for one of their projects. We’ve learned to rebuild the T150 3 speed in it. Not running in quite top shape yet, but has new wheels and tires. Teenage priorities… Sat in the weeds at our son-in-laws for a few years.
Mama and me have a 93 YJ, one of the boys has an 06 TJ for daily driver.

PapaSop I like all the safety features. They don’t build them like that anymore.
