Hello BeretDude,

If you want the guard with the cutting blade installed on it, you will need to order part number, 478535-00. Part number, 478536-00 is the guard only.

Hope this helps,

I just recived this replacement housing and cap as well.

I was able to get the old one off by first removing the screw, then prying with two screwdrivers from opposite sides between the old cap and the base.

Mine popped right off but it required me to pry from both sides at the same time.

When doing it this way, it didn't require very much force, that was my only concern as I didn't want to break anything.

Hello fwbslb19,

The driven belt pulley (gear) on the 90557035 Motor Assembly is made of metal.

Hope this helps,

The driving gear (pulley on the motor) is Aluminum
The driven gear is plastic and couples to the flexible drive shaft.

These gears are sized for a 15mm width belt. My unit was shipped with a 10mm belt.

I suspect this is an attempt to protect the flexible shaft which drives the string spool rotation. The unit has a strong motor driving a weaker drive train......

Hello everlaya08,

There are a couple of parts to look at that may be causing this problem on your GH1000 Trimmer. You will have to take the housing apart. Once you do that, look at item #4 on the parts diagram to see if it is broken, it is the drive belt. Also look at item # 13 the flex shaft to make sure it's not broken. I'm guessing it will be the drive belt.

Good luck,
WJA

My GH1000 did the same thing. The large pulley that drives the flex shaft is PLASTIC! It melted. I cannot find the part (large pulley). Perhaps it was "Fig 2" which is no longer on the parts diagram.

Hello JimK,

Unfortunately the manufacture does not supply the large drive pulley. You would have to order the complete motor assembly if you want to replace the pulley. It is part number 90557035.

Hi Mic,

The lever is held in by three, small, plastic barbs. To remove it you just simply pull it straight out. The new one will click into place.

I hope this helps!

Hey John,
Look and see if there is a sticker going over both sides of the casing still holding it together..if so you can just remove or take a razor blade and go along the seam..also keep an eye out for extra screws or clips holding it together..good luck!
Hope this has been helpful..

[QUOTE=john wagner;636]The belt seems to have slipped off of the shaft pulley. I can not seem to get the case open. I believe I have taken out all of the screws, but something is still holding it together near the button that allows you to twist the shaft."

I am in the same situation and I haven't solve the problem. can you help ?

Thanks

I have the same issue of not being able to open the case. It is held in the area of part #10.

There's a screw hidden under the label that shows you how to rotate the head. Peel back the label, and you'll see it.
