Abstract
An assembly is used to connect an equalizer bar to a walking beam of a reciprocating pump unit. The walking beam has a bearing shaft having cylindrical ends. Brackets attached to the equalizer bar define slots, each having a hooked section and having a base section. The hooked sections are configured to rest against the cylindrical ends of the bearing shaft. The base sections of the slots oppose the hooked sections at a gap from the cylindrical ends of the bearing shaft. Wedges are configured to position in the slots between the bases and the cylindrical ends of the bearing shaft.
