I have a murray gas powered weed eater with a curved shaft that I got at walmart and I've had it for about 2 years now roughly I think. About a month ago it started vibrating a ton. I've removed the head and tightened it back on but it still vibrates a lot. I have seen videos on youtube saying this sometimes happens when the bushing or drive shaft wear out but I can't seem to figure out how to access it without taking the motor off or something. For it's head I got fed up with the cord so I got one of those replaceable heads with the 3 pront blades that just snap in and that worked fine for a long time so I am thinking something else is going on. Any ideas? Or roughly how much it might cost me to go get it fixed or should I just buy a new one?
Indicates that then drive cable is on the way out
it runs in rubber bushes in the tube so they maybe badly worn as well
the head you have fitted is only for straight shaft drives and would have contributed to early cable and bush failure
SOURCE: Weedeater and Homelite shafts interchangeable?
Just give it a try. Some different brands will interchange. I have done this with a Toro and it is still running.
