What can anyone tell me about this trimmer? Have one offered to me with broken inner shaft. Owner says it was used with metal tri-blade also.
Husqvarna 322L straight shaft.
-
good trimmer. suprisingly strong. he had to hit something hard to bust up the shaft. it can happen, just need to use the noggin around rocks and fence posts.
-
Is the inner shaft a intertwined wire type cable?
I had a bigger ryobi come in long ago that had somehow busted the inner cable apart.
-
never been in there. only a couple carb kits and pull cords :) i don't even know what my 132 has for a shaft ;D
-
I bought it without looking at it. I just took the guys word for it, being I have dealt with seller before.
So what new model husky trimmer is the 322 comparable to?
Thanks for the info BB. 8)

i guess that makes sense as i did buy them from a husky dealer :)

I have one of those Blades on a Mac and I sharpen it with a flat file. It works very well on small tree sprouts and multiflora rose. I acquired the blade on a Mac in a horse trade.
-
I bet that big cc john deere = homelite straight shaft trimmer I stole the motor for a mini tiller would have been a good metal blade brush cutter. It was real torque monster trimmer and not all crazy on the rpm side.
Turned opposite direction though. Do all gear head types do that?
-
my echo and husky both turn backwards. i think most all gearhead trimmers do.
-
Guy just told me he replaced the trimmer with a husqvarna 326L . Isnt that about the same one just bigger cc motor.
-
Between a curved shaft and a straight shaft trimmer, the engines and the main shafts both turn the same direction.
But with the straight shaft trimmer, there are two meshed bevel gears in the angle head. These have a gear reduction as well as a direction change.
You will notice that most curved trimmers use .080" line and the straight shaft ones use .090" line. This is because of the gear reduction in the head.
-
If you have the broken trimmer, slide the tube out of the power head and lets see what you got in the way of a broken shaft?
It is likely broken at the very end where it goes into the clutch bell? The shaft will just slide out of the tube. It should be square on each end but yours will be broken.
Lets see if it is wound wire or solid?
-
Not in my hands. Hadnt even seen it.
Guy lives 35mins from me and is holding it for me.

could be. don't think we ended up with that model up here.
-
This ought to be fun to figure out how to get back together someday. All of the trigger springs, throttle etc was disassembled and in a box on pick up.
SOLID shaft is what is broke at a small area going into the clutch drum. I had to remove all of the housing to remove clutch drum and bearing so I could get the short part and screw it out of the drum.
His replacement was a 326LS not a 326L like he sent in email to me.
-
I'm either going to get a used or new shaft. But I bet the broken part could be welded back (if you could keep it some what true)? Looks chromed or something too.

I'd venture to say that the broken shaft was not made properly. That it should have been normalized after the welding process to relax and realign the carbon formations that were upset by the welding process.
-
It is pretty old and dated 1999. He said he bought it new 12 years ago. He said never had to do anything to it.
-
cold rolled? low grade stainless?
i'd try and get it welded. somebody good with a tig could get a good bead on that. chuck it in a lathe to keep it true. looks like there's enough room in there for a little reinforcement weld also.
-

I'm clueless on that stuff. But I bet when Jim see's it he could tell you.

This should work fine as long as you post heat it after the weld to normalize your work.

Found a shaft and installed today. Being I received the throttle in pieces and already apart. The throttle assembly is winning.
Had to come in for a IPL look see.

;D 8) Got it. Up and running.
-
now a small muffler mod and carb retune is in order ;D
-
I pulled the screen and seen that eraser size hole in muffler. Had to carb retune to mix anyway. No MM for now.
-
I have not MM'd any of my Echo weed whackers but the two Stihl ones have the screen removed.
-
i opened the slot in my echo 260's muffler from 1/8" to almost double that wide. left the length that same. nothing internal, and the cat is still there, but after it was tuned it really does have more low end. it gets the head spinning alot faster when in the thick deep grass/weeds. it keeps the .105" line stretched out :)
-
I have a SRM2100 and SRM2400 whackers. I'll have to look at the mufflers? I don't think they have catalytic mufflers?
I have a 210 tiller and I figure it has a cat cracker on it?
I also have a 2400 blower.
-
i really have no idea id your trimmers are cat equipped ??? i would imagine if they don't have the cat, they would respond better. i've done some other catless trimmers and they worked out well.
i have an echo pb251 hand held blower. haven't done anything with it except retune it. i don't think a mm would of any benfit to a blower as they will still be spinning the same rpm as 'stock'. they're really not under any real load where extra power would help.
-
I don't think I can modify the SR2100.2400 trimmer mufflers other than maybe take a screen out? They have a right angle bolt on cover over the outlet that is a little restrictive itself. The muffler will need some kind of right angle outlet to get the exhaust clear of the plastic cover.
All my Echos have plenty of power as they are but like you say, it is on the top end.
My Stihls are the 27cc homeowner types. They are OK for power too.
However, I may get inspired someday and change them?
-
If I modded my trimmers and blower. I would have to wear a set of ear plugs for sure. I really do not like the noise now days. Yep getting older.

Been a couple years now and just got done using it again. Is surprising how strong this 22cc trimmers is.
Used some generic version of the Husqvarna Titanium Force trimmer line that is made in Ohio. Seems to last pretty good.
-
I've had some of that titanium line for a couple years ever since you told me about it but have not emptied a spool yet to try it out. Detterman gave me enough to fill a spool.
