Question: Line Feed

nhyard

The line doesn't feed anymore. I know someone else on this discussion said it is the lever that is broken, but on my machine it looks okay. How do I know if that is the problem?

Question: Lever

svalentine

does the lever have a spring to make it work?

Question: Discontinued Handle

glencoe1691

The handle has been Discontinued OK what is the relacement part for the handle????

Reply: Discontinued Handle

WJA

Hello glencoe1691,

It's never good when a tool outlasts the availability of parts for said tool. The manufacture has discontinued that part with no substitute or replacement part number. You may have to do some serious web searching to locate one or try to fabricate one that will work.

Good luck,
-WJA

I bought a handle from Lehman's. It is not the same as the handle that was originally on the trimmer, but it is sure better than no handle. I think you can buy these other places, too. It is called "Stout's Backsaver Grip." They have a website: link removed Hope this helps.

Question: Aux Handle

katie

My aux handle broke off and the part is discontinued...would the aux handle from a new model say the GH700 work on my GH400? The aux handle on the GH700 appears to be attached to the tube but not screwed directly to it, but I didn't know if the tubes were the same size or close enough between models. Any ideas?

Question: Auto Feed

christy

My auto-feed isn't working and the lever (part 57) appears to be intact. Is there a component to the lever (or related part) that may have broken that I can't see w/out dismantling? Could there be another issue? All parts appear to be intact.

Question: Electric Trimmer Won

Teri

My Black & Decker Grass Hog 400 Type 1 was working just fine, then it just stopped. No odd sounds, no electrical smell...nothing. Could my on/off switch have blown? Is there a fuse? Is there a reset? I tried another extension cord, and that's not the problem. How do I troubleshoot this? Help, please! Thanks!

Replace the "Brush" (#17) part number 387542-00. Basically they are two sides to the circuit and supply the power to the Armature (with spins) thus completing the circuit. One of the "Bushes" probably blew, I suggest replacing both.

Question: Install Guard

larry

My daughter can't figure how to install her trimmer guard. Are there any simple ways of installing the guard? Thanks.

I bought the replacement part feed lever. It is item #57 on the parts diagram. The part number is #385017-01.
I'm not sure which direction it goes in cause the original was taken out.

Question: Fixing A Loose Guard

Ron

The big guard (part 5) has become loose and I'm wondering where the screw(s) are that would tighten it back. Is it part 50, the single screw that is inserted from underneath the guard? Is it just one screw? Do I have to take the spool out to see it?
Thanks

Reply: Fixing A Loose Guard

Kevin

Just the single screw and you can see it without removing the spool - just clean away the grass on the underside of the guard.

Question: Line Feed Part #57.

Timmy

The auto feed lever on my GH400 electric trimmer has broken off flush to base. Any suggestions, or, any way to take this apart? I tried to drill into what is left and pull it out with the drill bit but no luck. Can that head be pulled off? Thanks much

Question: Gh400- Trimmer

Z

I think from reading the other posts, that I need to replace the lever ( part # 57 for my GH400 trimmer). The cord release is not measured and it tangles every time, around the shaft. My question is, how do I get that little lever out of there? I'm afraid to break it off by using too much pull. Thanks
z

Reply: Gh400- Trimmer

Brad

First of all check to see that the lever is free moving and not binding up on any obstruction or even on itself. The lever on my trimmer broke completely off and that's why mine wouldn't release correctly. If yours is free moving, then it may be something else. Please make sure that you check that first.

Now, if it is, indeed, your lever, take a small flat screwdriver with a wide blade and gently pry it from its setting until you can firmly grasp it with a pair of pliers. With the pliers, pull up on the lever while twisting it back and forth off of it's mount and it should come free.

Question: Special Tool?

Roger

Do the plastite screws require a special tool to remove them? Is it available?

Reply: Special Tool?

Mark

Hi Roger,

The plastite screws are bet removed using a Torx driver. We have a Torx driver index available that includes all of the sizes that are commonly used in tool repair. The following link will provide additional information...

Good luck with your repair!

Question: Auto Feed

tsagoi

The auto feed does not work. The clerk at Lowes said a spring was missing, but I can't find the spring on parts list. gh400 5

Reply: Auto Feed

D

It is not the spring. It is the lever inside under the spool you put in and it is attached to the housing. It is called a lever #385017.1 see above diagram

Reply: Auto Feed

Terry

Replace part # 57

Question:

Dan

I put new line in the spool and when I pull the switch all the line comes out.

Reply:

Marci

I have the same problem. It appears the spool housing mounted on the shaft has stripped out and the part has been discontinued. I hope I don't have to toss the trimmer, everything else works great.

Rick-Indiana

My housing is doing the same. Falls off when I start the trimmer. Did anyone find a replacement part (Housing)?

Question: Auto Spool Feed Failure

johnjulie

Although all the parts seem to be in place on my GH400 edger, the new line will not feed and breaks off 1 inch outside the spool housing. I thought there may be a part missing but that does not seem to be the case. Any help is appreciated.

Reply: Auto Spool Feed Failure

Terry

The same problem occurred with my unit. Replace part # 57.

Hi jcm14246,

The feed problem is caused by the feed lever. It is item #57 on the parts diagram. The part number is #385017-01.

I hope this helps!

Question: GH400 Ground Hog Trimmer

tinbucket78

The spool housing on my GH400 type 3 trimmer does not attach tothe motor spindal anylonger. Is there a replacement part for that? I can't seem to find one.
Thanks
Tinbucket.:o

Hi tinbucket78,

Unfortunately the Spool Housing was sold as part of the motor assembly which has been discontinued. I did also check with Black & Decker and they no alternative. I think it is time for a new trimmer. :(

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news...

Yeah I thought so. Problem is the rest of the unit is in mint condition. But you are right. Time for a new one. If anyone needs parts off this one let me know and we can work out postage.

Thanks!
