This is an AMAZING power head made by Toro (Model 51978). It starts right up and is EAGER to get to work. Give it a pull on choke, then another pull (without choke), and it's up and running. Done Deal, solid as a rock! The engine has a full crankshaft and is super quiet. It has spring assist (similar to Incredi-Pull), which doesn't require as much effort to pull when starting. It comes with a string trimmer attachment -- your choice of a straight shaft or a curved shaft. See the pictures for examples; but I have more string head attachments than what's shown, with various options.
This unit is compatible with the Click-Link family, which means several other attachments are available: an extension pole chainsaw, an edger, a leaf blower, a string trimmer, and a garden cultivator. It cuts a 17" or 18" diameter swath, depending on which attachment you want. You get a string head that's a bump-feed type (when the string gets too short, just bounce it off the ground and keep going) -OR- a head that uses a fixed length of string (pull out the short string, insert a new one and keep working.). You choose which one you want.
A weed eater like this sells for about $215 when new. I'm asking only $100, which is a SUPER GOOD DEAL, because it's been overhauled and is in LIKE-NEW running condition.
The Goodies:
(*) VERY easy starting, and runs like a scared rabbit!
(*) Brand new spark plug.
(*) Brand new fuel lines.
(*) Brand new fuel filter.
(*) Brand new primer bulb.
(*) Carburetor removed and cleaned out.
(*) Brand new diaphragms installed in carburetor.

Location:
I'm located in a neighborhood called Austin's Colony, which is just off of MLK (same as FM-969) about a mile east of the TX-130 Toll Rd. I can be available just about anytime, any day. Let me know when you'd like to come out and have a look.
