Can a husqvarna engine on an echo shaft

After watching this video, it inspired me to try a little more mechanical know how to do what I did. I have a Troy Built interchangeable tool shaft line trimmer that is very hard to start. And a Ryobi that runs like a bat out of hell with a curved shaft. So with a little sawsall work, I was able to adapt the interchangeable tool shaft on to the Ryobi. Now it is a very useful machine. Thanks Steve, I have been learning a ton from you and now I've started a lone wolf lawn care company I'm working as hard keeping my equipment serviced at home as I do out on the road.

That's awesome! I'm always replacing parts with "new used" ones and it works fine! Instead of throwing things away and buying a new weed eater retrofit it and make it work! I love it! Good job Steve for saving the man some money!!

Underrated comment

I sadly have a 2017 Troy Bilt (20cc?) Straight Shaft I purchased and LOVE. The Straight Shaft is great for reach, but for comfort I'd rather have a Curved Shaft! Plus it's REAL NICE that I was able to make a Carb Tuning Tool with a Watertight 12g Electrical Blade Connector... The Round End is "Just Tight Enough" to go over the Air/Fuel Adjustment Screws! And saved myself $20 from Amazon for a Kit Set! Still would have been nice to have, but Ingenuity is AWESOME! Thanks again Steve! Take care, 🤓 -Thomas Western Washington State

You are a star Steve, I bought an FS50 curved shaft thinking it would suit me better but it didn't ,Now , thanks, I know it will so I'll search around for the FS55 shaft .Much obliged Steve , Ian

Good to know. I just bought the Sthil head that fit the curved fs45. Been on there 17yrs now.

Thanks for your many videos. I have a Stihl KM 55 with 4 attachments (trimmer, edger, tree saw, hedge trimmer). I use it often, and your videos have enabled me to keep it in great shape for 20 years, repairing when necessary.

Hi. Consutation. To a curved shaft of fs38 or fs45,can the fs55 reduction box be installed?

Thank you! I bought a curve shaft stihl trimmer and I hate it! I asked the dealer if I could put a straight one on it, they said no! I am so glad you had this video on changing it out. I can’t wait to change mine. Thank you! Joe

Saved me money! So, I have a Husky 125L with a seized shaft (cable & guide insert melted together inside shaft housing). In the free section in our local Facebook Marketplace, I found a straight shaft Homelite trimmer. & thanks to your encouraging & informative video, I fixed my Husky! Only mod needed was to drill a small hole for the locating screw. Works great. Thanks Bro' !!!

A lot of curved shaft weed-eaters are sitting around with broken flex cables. I've always felt a straight shaft (with gears at the business end) lasts longer. So another PLUS for the job you did!

Drilling out the jet in the Briggs carburetor was my all-time favorite. Until your video! I was constantly cleaning out that jet! .01 made so much difference! It's unbelievable! Haven't messed with it since and runs great!

Great Video. I installed one of those universal heads and it was a Echo Brand.. I use it on a Echo PAS 280 I didn't like the auto bump design. I use 150 line and it works great for PAS 280, I can get about 2 to 3 yards of use with the 2 piece of nylon string and I don't use the saftey gurd I use a full mesh face shield helps with air ventilation over the sold plastic face shield..

Wish I had known that years ago. Keep coming with the great tips.

Sweet conversion! Those Stihls with the one piece engine/trigger assembly are super easy to change over. I just wanted to mention that the operator will now have to get used to the string head rotating the opposite way (not a big deal, really, but it can be awkward at first if you've used a curved shaft for some time). You just gotta keep in mind which way the rocks and twigs get launched! I converted my old Homelite curved shaft into a straight shaft brushcutter with handlebars and it was a much more complicated process (remote throttle and kill switch, custom throttle cable and harness mount). That said, I *DO NOT* miss the curved shaft at all. Having to be all hunched over was killing my back and having to fight against the twisting torque of the engine shaving "bald spots" all over the lawn? Hell no! A properly balanced brushcutter along with a well-adjusted harness is nearly effortless and can be guided with such a light touch it's crazy they still sell these curved nightmares! The curvies are cheaper, but you will pay for them in pain and frustration, especially if you're a taller person! Thanks for the video, Steve. Cheers!
