Never thought I'd find this part for my 18 year old John Deere trimmer. This is a great place to get hard to find parts. One of my most important bookmarks. Awesome!

Almost Perfect
In addition to this adapter, I ordered the angle head drive unit. Fit-up on the String Trimmer was easy and overall a quality part, except for the fact that one of the holes was untapped. Fortunately the clamp on the protective shroud held the head securely in position.

My trimmer took it apart for me as it exploded apart. It's a gas trimmer. The repair was easy. Step one: Figure out how the string head goes together. That's the part that holds the line.
Step two : I slowly started to screw the pieces together-remember this is left hand thread so it's backwards righty loose lefty tighty. Step three: Use the correct socket and tighten the whole head up. Thats it. Took me 15 minutes.

, Was able to do it by hand
I replaced the new string head adapter and then secured it with the spool retainer. It was easy. What I really liked about the website was the ease of finding the parts I needed. It was super user-friendly.

The bottom of my bump head was worn down to nothing and I couldn't get it to come off. I'm not sure whether I continued to tighten it when I tried to remove it, but on a straight shaft (not curved) trimmer, you have to loosen clockwise, so once I finally took it off I separated the housing from the main spindle, which wasn't damaged.
I simply replaced with a whole new replacement housing and string attachment and counter clockwise tightened it on. Works like a charm.
