Husqvarna 122HD45 Hedge Trimmer Repair

A look at the Husqvarna hedge clipper model 122HD45. This one won't start and once we fix that problem we discover the cutters won't move. I'll show you how to fix that issue...for free!

Thanks for watching!

Very helpful. My cutter bar slowed way down to not working at all today. The engine ran but labored. I will work on the gearbox as you demonstrated and I’m sure the problem will be gone. Great tuneup demonstration. Thanks.

Thank-you. Just carried out this fix on my Husqvarna 122HDD60, and it now works perfectly. Saved time and money going to the repair shop!

Fantastic video. I just came here to see if this trimmer was decent and I learned a lot more than I intended. Thank you!!

Awesome video, with ideas well explained. Just finished maintaining my trimmer based on this video: the blades were not working. Soon found the grease in the gearbox was super stiff, almost like a soft plastic. All sorted now.

Good job and thanks for watching!

Thank you for the info Scott I got the thin line flashlight

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

I consider it an essential tool and keep a spare.

[@BrokenMonkeyProductions]

I must have missed where you told about the light. What is it? Brand, etc.

[@henrymurawskibigdogrepair]

@@BrokenMonkeyProductions if you go on a sight called Lise 35900 flexible flashlight you will find a inspection light

[@henrymurawskibigdogrepair]

@@BrokenMonkeyProductions or you can get the light streamlight 65418 188 stylus reached at Bargain Junkie

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

@@BrokenMonkeyProductions the light is a Streamlight 65418. the only drawback is that it uses "AAAA" batteries that aren't always easy to find.

Where can I find the special tool for adjusting the carburetor H and L adjustment screws? Thanks for the video.

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

Carb adjustment tools are available on amazon and ebay. They often sell as kits with multiple styles and don't cost much.

[@SluSharkND]

Lots of plot twists in this episode! Was there some regular maintenance that could have kept the cutter bar moving better, or is that just what happens when you get into something sticky?

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

Oiling it AFTER use would have prevented this problem.

[@hepeng2627]

thanks share this video

[@zoemulligan8960]

I have this same machine and I was using it for 1 hr then it wouldn't start. I've replace air fuel filters and spark plug. I bought a new carb but still won't start. Have you any other tips.

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

Check for spark. Another possibility is grass wound up under the flywheel that has damaged the crank seal.

[@TheGameBoy56]

Great video

[@brettsoutdoorexperience9422]

Hey I have a question when putting the bottom plate back on. Mine does not fit snug there is a gap where the gasket is. Do I just tighten up the screws until it “warps” back into a tight seal? I can’t figure out what is causing the gap.

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

DO NOT torque the plate down. You'll crack it. Are you sure the bottom "connecting rod" is properly in place over the crank journal that turns it?

[@brettsoutdoorexperience9422]

@@TheGreasyShopRag i figured it out. I believe it was what you said. Took me 15 mins to figure it out. Thanks man! Watched your video to figure out how it went together lol.

[@moboutrs1]

Where do you buy parts for this trimmer? like filter spark plugs etc...

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

We are a dealer so we get parts from manufacturers. For things like spark plugs we buy those from big vendors that cater to dealers. I don't do parts ordering so can't help you with who those vendors may be.

[@BruceLyeg]

How often should I be oiling the cutters? I suppose that would depend on how much it gets used, or is there some sort of interval? Also, what's a good oil?

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

I like Fluid Film used after each use of the trimmer. Its a lanolin based product that won't damage plant life. Thanks for watching.

[@davidswarbrick9645]

Thanks 👍 for everything you show me hi have a Stihl H S 75 I have rebilled it every thing works but the blades still will not work and the clutch drive shaft spin's blades work okay but it still will not work the blades why Dave 😂

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

I think I worked on one that acted like that and it was a stripped gear under the clutch drum.
