Sorry for the delayed follow-up on this. Below is an image of my trimmer head -- I did figure this out. Depressing simultaneously on the two metal "fittings" where the trimmer line exits the head (one denoted by the arrow on the top of the head in the pic below, and the other 180 degrees...

Thanks, and that was my initial thought too, consistent with another straight shaft trimmer that I have. I will see if I can get a pic later on, but so far my observations are that this is a different setup. The cap on the trimmer head appears to snap on, and has a center hole over the knob...

I inherrited this late 1980s Husqvarna 22R string trimmer. It still runs good, and among other things I am struggling to remove the trimmer head to rewind new trim line. I've got other gas powered trimmers where I have re-spooled new line, but on this unit, I am struggling to remove the cover...

Hi All, So, I got my hands on this 48" lawn roller where it was left full of water over the winter which expanded, splitting the seam open as per the attached pics. I plan to try to bend this back into shape after heating it with a torch and then weld the seam shut. Has anyone had to do a...

Great points, thanks for your responses. Yes, agree on the benefits of the raw edge belt construction for this application. Having said that, it does look like the mower deck belt is of covered/wrapped construction as per what I can tell from hustlerlawnmowerparts.com (see here) -- makes...

The OEM specs for the pump/drive belt p/n 769133 call it out as a 1/2" x 67.4" OD belt. There is a Gates 6867 Power rated Green Belt for lawn/garden applications that is 1/2" x 67.18" OD, so just a tad short as compared to the OEM belt. Does anyone have any experience with this belt?

I have a Hustler Sport zero turn lawn tractor with a 17.5 HP Briggs & Stratton OHV Intek engine - model #31G777-3304-G5. The unit is about 5 years old, very well maintained and has seen moderate residential use. For about 6-8 weeks now, I have been struggling to diagnose what I would call a...

Greetings; I have a 2012 Hustler Sport 42" dual blade and find that the grass ejection is not great.. can be clumping even when the grass is dry. About 3 years ago I purchased and installed Gator high lift blades for more air flow through the deck. This helped but the spreading of clippings...

I have a Troy TB360BV with the AC3 series 4 stroke engine. I was using it last week, and for no reason, the impeller seemed to be making a strange noise. I examined further and initially it looked like the impeller bolt had come loose. I took the housing apart to further inspect, and it...

Hi All, Just joined. I have a 5 year old Hustler Sport Zero turn. I do most of my own maintenance, so looking forward to information on this forum.
