Trimmer Plus String Trimmer Parts

This is a replacement string trimmer head that is used for a range of makes and models of trimmer. The head, sometimes called a cap, is placed on the bottom of the cutting head assembly. The glide cap is simple, but it serves an important function. It helps to keep the head from contacting the ground, so it is not damaged. The string trimmer head often comes into contact with the ground, roots, concrete, and other materials. Therefore, it can become damaged. It might crack or it could simply start to suffer from normal wear and tear after a lot of use. When this happens, owners should always replace the part sooner rather than later. If it is broken or not functioning properly, it could cause problems with the other elements in the trimmer. The replacement is simple and should not take users more than a few minutes to complete. The replacement string trimmer head is a genuine OEM part and it is sold individually. This part is for use only with string trimmers and is compatible with certain models from MTD and Cub Cadet.

This cutting head holds the line that trims weeds and grass on several specific handheld gasoline trimmers. It is covered with a thick plastic cap that is bumped against the ground so that line can be released from the spool. The plastic bump head can endure an indefinite number of bumps against the ground. The cutting head not only experiences all the same bumps but also turns at 12,000 and must stop and start rapidly. As a result, after continual use, the cutting head sometimes requires replacement. There are several clues to suggest that a cutting head needs to be replaced. Most often, the bump function ceases to work or works sporadically. To replace the cutting head, press the slots in the bump housing to release the lower part of the housing. After removing the bump head, a ratchet is needed to remove the old head. Reverse the process to install the new cutting head. If a user must replace a cutting head, it is essential that it be replaced with a genuine OEM part made by Cub Cadet such as this one. This replacement cutting head is guaranteed to perfectly match the specifications of the original part it is replacing.
