Boo...

Geez, that was subtle!! Like smacking a fly with a sledgehammer!

Hey everybody! Only Six More Shopping Days until Boo-Boo's Birthday!

Now I suppose you want all of us to get together and sing you "Happy Birthday"..... We'll see...

However, I will now point out that our birthdays are less than one month apart (in fact mine is exactly one month from today) so you'd better start planning our combined birthday celebration! What do you say, do we go to "Aunt Fannies" or will you come over to the Freezer for shrimp?? . . . LOL

No clutch on that model.
What you are looking at is a safety sear or vibration damper.
It is direct drive
When you pull the starter rope the head spins.

So I figure Jan. 8th is YOUR birthday, Well, that tells me your parents did some serious pre-planning, just so they could revive the New Years party !! ..:laughing:..:laughing:..:laughing:

My parents were SMART, I get presents at my Birthday AND Christmas !! ..:thumbsup:..:cool2:..:cool2:

Not a vibration damper, it's a centrifugal clutch. The trimmer head does not spin while the engine is being started or while it's idling. This model is a 41BD110G965 if you want to look it up. It appears most of them were made with standard clutches, but a few were made with rubber clutches. (?!) Apparently the rubber clutch is rare, but I found one for sale on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/MTD-Trimme...770762&hash=item1ec9427ab7:g:yaUAAOSw8GtZP-xu

Snowed for over 4 hrs; sometimes light and fluffy,sometimes crystalline. But always wet and heavy.
Even stuck to my satellite TV dish, blocking signal til I figgered out what was going on!
