    General Product Question posted July 13, 2011 by John GrosVenor 
    Question:
    Hi, I bought a Husqvarna trimmer with a blade, model 128DJX on Monday 7/11/2011. What's upsetting is the manual doesn't show how to take the trimmer off and put on the blade. The manual is written in so many languages and in plain English doesn't give a good description of removing the trimmer head from the shaft.

    I even asked my neighbor and we both agreed not enough in the pictures to show how to remove the trimmer head. The sales people where we bought it gave no instructions. We bought a Husqvarna large snow blower and so I decided to buy a weed eater, because I know Husqvarna makes dependable products. But give me a break with the manual. I can't even get the manual up on your website. I thought maybe there would be a better description in a picture.

    Would appreciate some help.

    thanks,
    John

    Parts Question posted September 23, 2013 by LARRY N MEADOWS JR 
    Question:
    I have a model 223L string trimmer. Lowes.com shows a brush cutter kit for it but it is not available for ordering in their database. I looked at some of the newer model brush cutters similar to mine in engine size and the output shaft thread size is the same. Is there a different kit and if so how do I locate and order the kit for my machine?
    Any info you have would be a big help to me.
    Thanks
    Larry

    General Product Question posted December 11, 2014 by Jonathan Zellmer 
    Question:
    What is the difference between the Husqvarna 555fx and the Jonsered FC2256 outside of the obvious and also I am having trouble with comparing what is listed on/in reading material on their respective websites? There is a lack of uniformity with information formats provided by Husqvarna and Jonsered websites for use in comparison of models across brand name borders. Maybe its from too much effort to be different when they are virtually the same machines.

    The Jonsered FC2256 (20.28 lbs) > is listed as being heavier than Husqvarna 555fx (19.6 lbs)? These weights actually different or were different scales calibrated differently (red might look heavier than orange or Vice Versa?

    Please help me to get a more complete and competent comparison of these two clearing saws (Husqvarna 555fx compared with the Jonsered FC2256), so that I can make an informed purchase as a consumer.

    Thank You in advance,

    Jonathan
    Details:

    I have spent in excess of 4 hours so far on phone and internet trying to get to information that seems hidden from consumer.  It seems like Husqvarna and Jonsered are engaged in secrecy war within the same company - I'm very frustrated with recent customer service experience and information availability. I have Husqvarna saws now, but Stihl FS560 clearing saw is looking better than it was before this difficulty in streamlining a comparison of Husqvarna and Jonsered within same company?  I love my Husqvarna equipment, but want to keep buying best without using the good old trial and error method.

     

    Please help me to get a more complete and competent comparison of these two clearing saws (Husqvarna 555fx and the Jonsered FC2256), so that I can make an informed purchase as a consumer.

    General Product Question posted December 13, 2011 by Tom McCartney 
    Question:
    Oil/Gas Mixture - I have seven pieces of yard equipment, including 2 that are Husqvana, all with 2 cycle engines. Some of the equipment specifies a 40 to 1 gas/oil mixture while others specify a 50 to 1 gas/oil mixture. Is there a problem running a 40 to 1 mixture in a 2 cycle engine that specifies a 50 to 1 mixture?

    My 232R brushcutter will not start as the ignition module is...escalated
    Parts Question posted September 18, 2012 by Chris Perry 
    Question:
    My 232R brushcutter will not start as the ignition module is dead. From Husqvarna's documentation I believe the correct part number is 530 03 91-45, please can you confirm this.

    Brushcutter 232R
    Serial Number 5491651
    Ignition module Phelon 5109A.

    When I tried to get one of these modules in the UK, I found it is no longer available. Is it still possible to obtain the correct ignition module from suppliers in the USA or elsewhere in Europe?

    Is there another ignition module that will work with my current flywheel to get my brush cutter running again?


    On your website I found the following information:-

    http://answerarmy.com/posts/05bcc2c160

    If I buy a 530 03 91-43 ignition module will it work on my 232R brushcutter, as suggested in the above Answer Army Best Answer?

    I might be able to get hold of a used ignition module from a 225R brushcutter, part number 503 76 16-01. The 225R brushcutter uses the same flywheel as the 232R so would this ignition module work on my 232R brush cutter?

    Thanks

    Warranty Question posted October 18, 2011 by David Dessel 
    Question:
    This isn't a question as much as a comment. 335FR purchased 6/22/11. Put in service 7/14/11 for grass/weed clearing in trail corridor. Basically the long & short of it is the motor ceased. Dealer indicates the crankshaft or crank bearings are shot and the piston is scored = motor rebuild. They also indicated pilot error and a non-warrantable repair to the tune of $400.00. Here's my comment: I currently own a 1987 Model 61, an 1994 Model 51, and a 2007 265RX forestry cutter. All of which are still going strong after years of commercial use (I'm a trail contractor). That's a testimony to the care I give my machines... I am dismayed that after only 2months of use this 335 failed. Fuel was the same, maintenance was the same, use habits were the same. I am also somewhat dismayed that the dealers 1st assumption was "pilot error". So now I sit here 4 months after purchase with a (as of yet) non-functioning 335 that has less than 35hours on it that I will have almost 1K invested in. Unbelievable.

    Parts Question posted October 28, 2015 by Ted Rivenbark 
    Question:
    I have a 128LD weed eater from Lowes. Wanted to replace the spark plug. On page 22 of the manual it says to use a Champion plug QCJ-8Y plug. On page 20 it says to use a QCJ-6Y or equivalent. Lowes did not have a QCJ-8Y.

    I pulled the plug ( never been changed ) and the plug in the unit is a RCJ8Y.

    I am confused, what plug do I put in this thing??
