Hi Mick, many thanks for the informative film. In case anyone might be wondering about the type of grease used, specifically in the HS 45 gearbox, I thought I would just add a word. Stihl recommends Stihl Multi lube for the HS 45 gearbox. Not to be confused with the FS grease used on Bruch cutter gearboxes. Different temperature tolerances.
Hi Mick Best video by far i've seen online easy to follow instructions for clueless non professional like myself and have immediately subscribed to your channel.
Hi Mick Great video as usual. I thought it might be worth a mention, both halfs of that blade set are identical so as long as you get them facing each other, there is no top or bottom blade. Its always worth making a mental note whats goes where still.
The tap and fuel line was from me Mick Just a thank you for the advice on the Suffolk punch which is running like a dream. I’ll be painting her up and next at this rate 👍 only issue I have is I’ve got to remove the exhaust stub which I know is going to be a mate of a job. 😟may end up drilling it out. As it’s sheared off now anyways
Nice video pal. Did you see the bit of hedge cutter blade I found by a laurel hedge the other week? They must have hit a 6inch nail on the fence. Enough to upset your day 🤣
Thanks for the video. I've got the same trimmer I've just changed my blades going by the video but blades not moving.i turned the cog round with screw driver and they are moving in and out ok. Put plate back on. Still not moving was working fine before hand. Cant work it out 🙈
Take the blades off and start the trimmer with the gearbox open.. make sure the small gear is spinning.. if it is then re fit the blades.. sounds it you have not installed them correctly or have over tighten the bolts on the blades
I rented a set years back, the shop had a sheath longer than the blades filled with kerosene, and hung the units in them to keep the blades clean and lubed. I was under the impression there was a clutch to keep the blades from breaking. My old Homelite unit has visited chain link fence, iron posts and big branches, never broke a blade
How's she goin'/ Nice repair on the trimmer. I like the way to check the gearbox and blade parts for any other damage from the incident that caused the blade to break!!! A good thing to do. Thanks for sharing and take care!!!
Thank you for this video Mick! I’ve got a HL 100 Long reach hedge trimmer. Please could you tell me is it advisable to always use hedge trimmers on full revs ? in case you are cutting stems that are a little bit thicker than advised. Sometimes when I use mine it jars and on 2 occasions Now I have had to replace the head Because of damaged gearing .
Same Trimmer as the Mrs! Save this in the library never done one of these before. Surprised the nuts came off so easy. Assume they would be a PITA as the sap and all would act like glue. 🔧🇺🇸🦅🤙🏻
I use Kramp resin remover spray for cleaning the blades and bars. Saves no end of time. Also performs better than wd40 and the like for blade lubrication
Nice one mate, i have the same cutters but only the newer version, always used the stihl grease on them good little peace of machinery compared to the hs85 ones i used to use , for the blades i use gt85 spray instead of wd40 .
I got a maruyama hedger trimmer. I changed the blades. Tightened up the bolts and nuts. Blades wouldn’t move. Loosened up the nuts and the blades moved but they all fell off. What do I do.
Mick, i thought you had worked on that machine before! Customer should be very happy with the turn around. Hope Riley Boy and mrs P are doing better. 🇺🇸👍Roger
Was it me or did it sound like clutch bell top end was rattling when you realised the revs... My 45 doesn't sound like that. Good job tho buddy wish I had somebody who could fix my tools that quick, lads near you must be chuffed... Take care
No worries just came across your page.... I went throw 5 mowers last years never have luck with lawn mowers hahaH... Got couple mowers a Mountfield with briggs 35 and a champion sat in yard if your ever down near Chester way, briggs had new carb and bubble still wouldn't run right. So if your ever down here welcome to them for nout.
@@louislouis4417 glad you have come across the channel. It’s about 200 miles from me I’m on the south coast. But ta for thinking of me. Hope all is good your end. Take her easy

Great job! I watched this video while I was drinking a beer - really relaxing! You know, beer helps you out more than you think. Try it!

i only use the Stihl Multi lube for the HS 45 gearbox.👍
For the FS gearbox Stihl recommends the Stihl Superlub FS.

Was it you? 🤣🤣 Poor little Hedge cutter 😭😭😊
@@Paulbp1203 haha, I'd do a proper job and do both blades 🤣
@@TheCountryCottageGardener you and me both 🤣🤣 probably end up doing the gears in aswel
Yeah lol it not good when you just start your day out and snap
@@themowerman just a little question if I may. Inner grease for gears ect. You think am ok using copper grease like you use on brake pads?
Nice video Mick!
Ta mate

@@themowerman
Ok thanks will try that tomorrow.
I could move the blades by turning the cog so I wouldn't be able to do that would I if to tight .
Sorted now. I think the bottom blade was up to far so stopped the small cog from moving and I untighten the 5 bolts a bit.
Thanks for the tips 👍
@@RizlaaOnelove your welcome

No mate it's direct drive on these.. that's why I was surprised the gearbox had no damages
I wish I can get parts within 24 hours it's sometimes within 2 weeks. Good job Mick!! I hope Riley boy is feeling better now 👍
He's a little better mate.. ta for asking.. yeah super fast delivery..
Hi Mick, I hope me clenching my teeth as you tightened those 5 fixing helped mate!!! Best wishes.
Lol yeah Peter it did help lol

Ta mate
excellent work Mick.
Ta mate. A nice and simple fix. Just how I like it
jobs a good un mate Awesome video
Yeah mate ta for watching
Great repair mick! Good machines them hs45 👍
Yeah mate a good little trimmer
Yet another happy customer mick and yes you can't beat WD-40 i always use it on my hedge trimmer 👍👍👍👍
Yeah mate.. cleans them up really good.. ta for watching mate
How's she goin'/ Nice repair on the trimmer. I like the way to check the gearbox and blade parts for any other damage from the incident that caused the blade to break!!! A good thing to do. Thanks for sharing and take care!!!
Hi bud. Hope all is good. Yeah always pays to check for more damage. Nothing worse then sending it back to find out you have missed something
What grain or type of sand paper do you use and can you purchase new spacers?
Yeah you can get New spacers .. I use 40 to 80 sand paper
Tidy job Mick. thanks for the info.
Your welcome mate

Yeah I would say to use it just under full power.. ta for the comment mate

🔧🇺🇸🦅🤙🏻
Morning mate.. hope all is good.. yeah I was an easy job
lucky it was not the gear box good video as always
Yeah that would of cost some money if it was
I use Kramp resin remover spray for cleaning the blades and bars. Saves no end of time. Also performs better than wd40 and the like for blade lubrication
That must have been fun hitting a fence! 😂 Great video as always 👍
Ta mate.. still not got the sticker yet.. I have no idea
@@themowerman Alright, I have still not gone to the post office I have to ship something out tomorrow so was planning to ship another.
Nice one mate, i have the same cutters but only the newer version, always used the stihl grease on them good little peace of machinery compared to the hs85 ones i used to use , for the blades i use gt85 spray instead of wd40 .
Yeah it's the same spray to be fair.. ya for watching mate
@@themowerman gt85 smells amazing , no problem at all bud good video content
Great work mick those can be super tricky to take apart been there done that. Got to stay out of those fences big like and share from tbc bud

Something not right in the gearbox end.. I would say

Good job mate . Think the thumb down came from a butchers dog lol.
Probably mate

Should only use stihl super clean on the blades.
Wd40 will brown the hedge.

Nice one. Shame to see so much tool steel going to waste.... Wouldn't mind a few inches of that.
Well I don't mind posting some over mate.. it's in the scrap bin
@@themowerman I'd be grateful for say 6 inches from the tip of the blade, I could make a marking knife from a bit like that.
@@BensWorkshop ok mate I will sort something out
@@themowerman Cheers. You'll need an angle grinder to cut it.
@@BensWorkshop yeah I got one mate
That is a nice hedge trimmer there . wow that blade was trash
Yeah.. but nice and sharp now..
Not a good thing to do with a hedge
What's not a good thing mate
