gear box on grass cutting edger-how does it work? 1

dooron · Feb 15, 2004

I have a petrol driven (20cc motor) Grass cutting Edger on which the Gear Box/Clutch is not working. The unit has hardly been used and since to replace with a new would cost about 1/2 the value of a brand new Edge Cutter I am wondering if someone has details on how this gearbox part is made up, (must be a common design for most of these "Gear Driven Edgers&quot

and whether it can be disassembled, simply repaired etc.?

You have not mentioned the model number
or Manufacturere. You must have received
a replacement parts manual and instructions
with it.

I would rather not mention the brand, but is a very common domestic type. probably used less then 10 hours of edge cutting.
I believe the gear box is a "sealed unit" replaced when "failed".
I did not receive a maintenance manual. The gear box probably costs $5 to make and sells for $100. The whole unit sells for $300-$400. Do they work with gears, springs bearings?. I think most of these clutch/gear boxes are basically the same design.

If you bought this new and only have 10 hours on it then take it back! Warranty should cover this.
