A shot in the dark, but does Stihl make one of these with the proper threads to fit a Huskvarna?:hhmm:

Reason; if the bump knob on the Husksy wears out (and I have no spare) the machine is down for at least a week till the parts come in.. If the Stihl knob on the 4002 713 9608 head needs to be replaced, I can pick it up the same day.

Probably not but you may luck out.

I tried to fit an Echo bump head to a Stihl because I had tons of the echo heads and it is quicker to change a head than rewind it.

I gave up.

Same LH M10 diameter just a courser pitch on the thread, Marie put some time in this, came up empty..

The Stihl Autocut head, will outlive 3 to 4 of the T-35 Husky heads and are easier to find parts for...

Dan, don't want to give up yet, got a part number? :D
 
Sorry for the delay.

Buy the STIHL version of the Echo adaptor bolt.
Cut about 3/8" off of the round shank end.

Japanese Metric is a little different than the German Metric so you will have to buy the adaptor bolt.

Look at the picture of the standard and the modified version. You are looking at the depth of the recessed area and where the shoulder sits.

Spin it on the new 25-2 and throw the old crappy head in the trash.

You fleet is now standardized to run the STIHL AutoCut 25-2 head.

Will do.

Springs are on the next purchase (these guys will wear the spool till it shoots to, who nows where). We are well stocked with new covers and spools.

Dan,
Can I do this same mod to my Husky 322L? The spool on it currently is a POS.

Thanks,
Brittain

By the way I'm loving that reduced weight bar you hooked me up with. I've converted several friends to it now.
 
Like you said, cut off 3/8" and what we needed (husky has new shoes). Thanks for the 02.:cheers:

Why wouldn't you just order a few extra buttons to keep on hand? :confused:

If you must change then I recommend the Redmax heads, back when I cut grass they were the best I'd ever used.

I did, just burned through (my stock) the last knob and cover. The T35 Husky trimmer heads suck imo. The bump knobs and the housings are paper thin and the machine is down for a week if you get caught short and have to order the parts. The flipside, the Stihl 25-2 head will last at least 4 times longer, and if it wears out, I can buy the parts locally and have it back online the next morning. Usually just the spool, which is more cost effective.
