Title: Homelite SX 135
Post by: Cut4fun . on June 18, 2016, 03:32:32 pm

Homelite SX135 trimmer dropped off. Never seen one with this trimmer head. Took pics.

Just a 8" piece of line threads through both ends and held in the middle. 


Where would one find parts for this type of trimmer head?

  I have an IPL for the SX135, but the parts don't look like the pics.  My IPL for that trimmer says DA-98866-A retainer - DA-98912-D.  I  have those parts in my Homelite trimmer inventory.

I have a trimmer with a head that you just push 1 foot pieces into the head x 2 so no storage in the head at all.  It is aftermarket and seem to work well.  I've got it on a Toro straight shaft unit that I picked up for $10

Pulled the traded in homie motor and installed on a straight shaft John Deere built by Homelite I had stole the motor from for a mini tiller. 

Might switch them all around someday. But the JD version the on/off hooks up to the handle switch on the tiller. The one used today is built in kill switch on motor.
