- TwoToday we are working on an echo weedeater and we are replacing the bearing inside the gearbox because it is worn out and making noise so sit down and enjoy this tutorial because I had fun making it #Echo #Gearbox #Gears#SmallEngineRepair #LawnmowerRepair
Man you see a lot of echo equipment.Good video
Awesome explanation! I want to commend you for making this video dummy proof. Your explanation was simple and what like is that as you were explaining the steps you were on point, not wordy like other videos I've watched in the past from other channels. Thank you again, you answered a question or problem that not even the echo people knew how to resolve. Please continue developing this type of videos.
Very helpful video - thank you mate (from Sydney Australia). One thing I get mixed up about, by the way, is how much grease to use - there seem to be 2 schools of thought ie: the mechanical engineers who say "too much grease is bad & causes problems" and the other camp, which I probably belong to, who tend to be more generous and 'gung-ho' with grease, and like to 'pack' every bearing and gearing cavity to it's fullest extent. Does anyone have any comments about this? Thanks in advance guys👍
Great video, as usual 👍...and also a great camera you are using, nice close ups🔎
As always, a great, informative video.
Sir. You deserve a complimentary 55 gallon drum of ECHO GREASE. Great job…
Great job!
Hey brother you ever consider opening a small engine school I'd pay for education your videos are top notch wish I had a pay pal to donate I'll work on that
Man knows what he's doing for sure
Subscribed. I just took my gear head off and greased my flex shaft in my tube and greased my gear head through the small bolt
Good deal, I just put some grease in my Echo trimmer about a week ago. Had no clue what all was in there.
I got as far as 3:20 in the video, and then when I go to pull out the bearing, the whole gear system turns and there is no way the nut can pull out the axle, unless the rotation of the axle is somehow arrested. Don't see how you did that...
Mahalo man, I Love your videos 👍🏽 very informative and detailed. From the Gr8 808 ST8 Aloha🤙🏽
AW YE OLD "METRIC CRESANT WRENCH" I HAVE MANY SIZES OF THOSE !!! VERY HANDY!!!
Good job sir! I apreciate !👍
I tried this on my echo string trimmer. Could not get the head to stop turning. Is there a trick to keep the gears from turning while you're trying to unscrew the bearing?
I’m having the same issue. Wondering if you ever got it figured out 😬
@@emilymccarthy1 Never did. Sorry
@@TheRonjeremys22 you figure it out yet either. I am banging my head off the wall tryin to figure out how to remove the arbor bolt itself
Need to change my pto shaft because the threads on it are completely busted so i cant use the nut of the head to pull that out as you showed on de video. Any advice on how i could pull it out? Thanks
I have a Stihl fs94R trimmer. there is, what I think, grease all over the motor/clutch housing/even in the air filter cover. But I think it's grease. The only grease is in the trimmer head. Is there a seal fail anywhere from the head up through the shaft to where it meets the clutch that would dump grease all over the motor? The seal at the top clutch end of tube looks fine but there is still a hole for the rod. I cleaned the entire motor and ran it to see if there was a leak in it but not so far. I pulled the gearhead off and there was more grease than u had here and it was black not grey like this.
Whats the ideal gear mesh? Close to touching but not or how high or low the gears ride to each other?
Good work
I like that puller you were using. Can you let me know where you got this item?
I believe you can rent it at O'Reilly's. Sorry I know you didn't as me just trying to help
What brand of snap ring pliers are those? Tried last year to remove both end bearings to clean and grease this head, my ghetto pliers couldn't reach that far in.
Is that cotton stripper grease 00 ???? Or regular #2 grease ???
Do you think most repair shops would replace the bearing, or would they install a whole new gear case and charge the customer accordingly?
Most shops wont jack with repairing anything nowadays. It’s very sad. Just parts repalcers
@@THEMOWERMEDIC1 How true - it's just same here in Australia too.
Why did you not replace the bearing on the other end of the gear case
Shaft turns as I try to tighten the bolt
Maybe someday do a Stihl fc91 gearbox bearing replacement there's no grease fitting and most people buy the KM attachment for replacement the dealer charges more to fix than you can buy the attachment thanks my friend 😁
Can you make a video showing how to remove every bearing please?
Üdv!Felkelett volna melegíteni az aluminium házat és könnyű szerelni!
The grease port bolt on the gear head fell out of my Echo trimmer while I was using it. It got hot, hot enough to melt the plastic head. I don't hear bearing noise but if I run it now it does seem to get hotter than other trimmers. Any ideas? Thx
@THEMOWERMEDIC1, what model was that weed eater, and im curious what parts would I need to put a steel driveshaft in place of my flex cable. Nothing wrong just wanted a heavier drive cause I assumed I'd b at my house most time, no working commercially weekly. Just curious.
Thanks JD
Hello sir on the echo srm 2620 is the/are there any hidden adjustments for the carburetor?
What size washers and nuts did you use as the spacers?
All different sizes I just dug through my bolt bin until I found some that fit
how often should you change the grease or even add grease to this assembly
Just keep it full.
No need to do in an in-depth repair like this unless you have an issue. About every 50 hrs
@@THEMOWERMEDIC1 if you clean out the old grease, can you put regular wheel bearing grease?
Didn't know it was that easy
@THEMOWERMEDIC1, is the red armor oil by echo a full 100% synthetic or semi synthetic? I seen videos and reviews looks like good stuff but couldn't find that information. Thanks
It’s all good I normally run stihl ultra
@@THEMOWERMEDIC1 Tru fuel is cheap in WV. I ran the Stihl and it carboned up bad. Just asking if you knew on the echo oil cause I was thinking on trying it for my soon to be got SRM3020.
The echo fuel in a can is good so is vp and tru fuel
@@THEMOWERMEDIC1 thank ya. I called echo tech support and the lady assured me the semi Synthetic is just as good if maintained. My concern was build up over time but I don't have to worry at all 😁
how did you remove the cover off the inner bearing?
Pocket screwdriver. Pop it right out
Where and how do you get a tool
Does anyone make a screw in grease fitting for the Shindiawa gear heads similar to what Redmax has on theirs?
Don’t need it just squeeze the echo/shindiawa grease in from the tube.
That fox will last for ever now with cover removed
You showed me some stuff.
You skip past how to remove the cover on the bearing and you do that in so many of your videos, convenient for you I suppose making your video but as a viewer I always have questions unanswered.
Over here the mechanics will tell you to replace the gear head cause they can't be bothered to replace the damage parts within 🤷🏾♀️
Needs more grease😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
well, you overgreased that bearing, and ruined it. but i guess you know that.
I AM FROM THE UK AND I CANNOT GET MY HEAD AROUND WHY THE HELL YOU DIDN`T REPLACE ALL THE BEARINGS. IF ONE HAS GONE THE REST WILL SOON FOLLOW. INPUT SHAFT BEARINGS ARE ALWAYS GOING AND CAN SOON SMASH TEETH OF THE GEARS. I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON MOWERS&STRIMMERS& SMALL PLANT FOR 40 YEARS. THAT JOB WAS HALF ASS.
Being from the " UK " supposed to mean something??
@@outboardfixer Ho Dear has one spit his dummy out you over grown baby.
@@russellkerfoot5423 "Well they ran trough the briers and they ran through the bramble, and they ran through places a rabbit couldn't go, they ran so fast the hounds couldn't catch them, on down the Mississippi to the golf of Mexico"......and BACK to the "UK" you went.
@@outboardfixer WTF.Are you on about you Prick Jesus what a Baby. Shut the f>>k up.
@@outboardfixer OMG I know that song, very few do now
