Any suggestions on a replacement gear head or the whole shaft and head for on a FS 81 trimmer? The shaft is smaller than those used on the FS90's etc.
This old classic of mine (1991) is "Stihl"  ;D running strong. However, replacement gear heads and parts are now like hens teeth. Should the gears or bearings fail.........I hope I don't have to part with it.

I just don't have any experience with the FS-81

I spent several years with Homelites and McCullochs back in the 80's & 90's.

Then it was Echos and more recently Stihl FS-55R's

The Stihl's have been somewhat of a challenge because of the different sizes and types. I just hit it lucky and it took me a couple years to do that.
