The trimmer head started smoking on my troy-bilt trimmer
I was weeding some weeds in small rocks and dirt and the head on the Troy-Bilt did not like that. It melted and after finding the parts, I only had to replace the outer spool assembly because it was melted beyond belief. The biggest trouble was finding out where the parts actually went because the diagrams are great for the motor and upper parts but not below the shaft. It took longer cleaning the melted mess than replacing the parts after figuring out the location of each part. The new part included a washer, but who knew that the washer was to be press fit into the bumper to hold the bolt in it? Little things like that are what take the time. It worked great for the first couple of hours. Then it smoked again. This time I replaced the head with a metal one off of a Craftsman trimmer. It fit perfectly and I have not had a problem since then. At first I thought that the first time was a fluke, but after spending the money for shipping the first time, I looked closer at the problem and decided to beef up the head. Too bad they don't make a metal replacement outer spool assembly. That would have fixed it as well. Everything that I have ever purchased from ereplacementparts has worked perfectly including this assembly. The type of head should only be used in mild areas though.

    I found my parts on their web sight, ordered what I needed to repair weed eater, when parts came I was short my inner spool due to an error in the catalog showing that the inner and outer spool came together. I called and showed them the catalog page , they shipped me part overnight and corrected their page. They are very helpful and very nice folks and I will order whatever parts I need from them again.
    The parts were exactly what I needed in factory packing.
