TWO WAYS TO REPLACE THE LINE IN A 25cc CRAFTSMAN GRASS TRIMMER

In this video I will explain the two ways to replace the cutting line in a Craftsman 25cc grass trimmer. The head cover is taken off to explain the inner workings hopefully to make replacing the line more understandable. There is a short weed trimmer story with a skit in this video that I hope you enjoy. Watch to whole video. There is a shout out to my son's channel at the end. Thanks everyone especially to my subscribers.

Wow! Thanks and I appreciate your comment.

[@judasgoatamerika599]

I’m trimming a Friend’s grass with the same trimmer, why does the red plastic top keep flying? I never used a weed trimmer before and it’s a good one I guess except for that red cap that won’t Stay on.

[@judasgoatamerika599]

Never mind, the neighbor who worked on the weed whacker put the red bump on top of the whack assembly and why it kept flying off. I figured it out by taking the assembly apart and put it under the top part it works now.

[@COACHgtv8192]

I'm glad you figured it out. You would have had to send me a picture of what was going on. Thanks for watching the video. Happy trimming!!!

[@azcharlie2009]

I finally figured it out. You have to push the line in kind of against the rotation. Otherwise, it will just go out the two holes. My red knob would hardly turn. So I used some channel locks and it loosened up a little. Anyway, thanks for the helpful video. What would I do without you guys on youtube!?

I’m from Jersey and I was cracking up because I definitely called the trimmer a “weed wacker”. You did an awesome job explaining this process. Now if only someone will show me how to get more line out when the line is short. Lol

[@COACHgtv8192]

Lol, Thank you Alicia. Most trimmers have a bump nob on the bottom of the head. It's the round piece that is protruding. If your trimmer has line in it all you have to do is tap that piece on the ground while the head is spinning and it feeds the line. When you get to the point where bumping stops working then you know its time to add more line.

Outstanding video. Thank you for explaining the concept of the speed spool so clearly and simply. They should probably put something on the box that directs the buyer to a video demonstration of how to load the speed spool, just like your video.

@@COACHgtv8192 I followed your instructions But I only get a couple uses out of it and then it gets tangled inside the spool. Any idea as to what I might be doing wrong

[@COACHgtv8192]

@@skinny4 It’s probably the spool head and not you. Even though it is set up to be used as a speed spool it can be threaded by taking the cover off to reveal the two sea ruins inside. You can wrap the trimmer string manually and run the ends through the holes as you replace the cover. If it gets tangled then it is probably the spool itself. I’m sure you can get a replacement spool at Lowes. Hope this helps.

Two sections that is.

Thank you , Brother! Is there anyway to replace that head with a different one? How did you get the head off it off in the first place? Would like to put a brush cutting head/system on it.

[@COACHgtv8192]

Thanks for watching man. I only had the cover off in the video but I just took the head off today. Now this was on a 35cc Craftsman. Squeeze the clips on either side and the bottom cover will come off. The red bump nob also has two tabs you have to press and that pops off. There is a screw to remove and the rest will just slide off. You may be able to put a brush cutting blade on it. Maybe you can find one with some sort of adaptors and washers with a male end that fits. Hope this helps and thanks . This sounds like another video idea.

[@Parawebb1]

@@COACHgtv8192 Would love to see that! (Make another video please) Thank You, Brother

[@brianh7331]

Have you had the issue where the last ~12” of line comes out of the trimmer? I can load and wind the 7’ of line but when it gets down to the last bit it just comes flying out.

[@COACHgtv8192]

I haven't had that issue. Maybe the line is seated well enough to load but gets thrown out at the end because of centrifugal force. I'm just guessing here because I haven't run into that problem yet. Thanks for watching the video Brian.

[@DALCHAVEL]

can you use ryobi attacments on this trimmer?

[@COACHgtv8192]

There is a good chance that it will. Both Craftsman and Ryobi are manufactured by MTD.

[@stuff2047]

I’m not feeling it stick at all when putting the string in the holes and therefore when I try to advance it by turning the knob it just falls out. This is a new weed trimmer for me but I’ve done this hundreds of times on my previous one. I cannot figure out what’s going on at all. The marked lines are lined up properly, nothings dirty, the string is the correct size, I cut them at a 30 degree angle, I absolutely cannot understand why the string won’t stick so I can advance it.??

[@COACHgtv8192]

Wish I could check that trimmer out, you know, hands on. Can't tell what the problem could be if the alignment arrows and marks are line up. You've done it before with a previous trimmer so you pretty much know what you are doing. Seems weird that the line won't seat. I have actually stringed trimmers the hard way by removing the bump knob and the spool then winding the line manually, but it is a supreme hassle.

[@rj5822]

I tried installing an Echo Speed Feed, but it seems like it's not compatible

[@COACHgtv8192]

i figured out how to reline it by myself but i can’t figure out how to get more line out when there’s extra line in the thing but the amount that’s out of it is short

[@COACHgtv8192]

Sounds like something’s wrong with the bump nob. Each time you bump it on the ground while the head is spinning, the line should extend until it’s too short to extend more and needs to be replaced.

[@goon.1]

[@LastBastian]

I have the same model, I'm doing the same thing... But it only pulls in one string no matter what I do. Ran it with one string, but the bump feature wouldn't work. Had to stop every few seconds, turn it off, and yank out more line by hand then start it up again.... I'm thinking about throwing this new thing in the trash. Lol

[@COACHgtv8192]

Lol, I bet that is frustrating. Before you throw it away maybe think about just replacing the speed spool. They sold them at Lowes sometime ago. I wish you luck Bastian and thanks for watching.
