Great rebuild for sure. I have never before seen the inside of one of those things. If it were me I don't think I would have invested 138 plus labor fees to have it rebuilt when I could get everything new plus a warranty for about a hundred dollars more--if I understand the pricing correctly. Hopefully it lasts a good long time for the customer. Thanks for the video.
@@themowerman Moi? Can't get down and dirty without rags and blue roll. Besides, it doesn't cost any more than a Patreon tier. Let me know if you run out of storage and need a bit of a break....
Hi Mick. I've rebuilt alot of these hl135 and use a couple almost daily. They're a good unit and much better built than the replacement which is the hl145, that's why they make the money broken. I can tell you 100% that unit failed from lack of grease. I grease mine everyday as soon as I can hear the chattering noise. Doing this they seem to last forever practically.
Yeah I try to tell the professional guys but they look at me as if I'm just after the money.. well some of them anyway.. still a new attachment is £240 upwards. So a repair is cheaper.
Yeah mate.. this is professionally used so should be done more. You can tell by the noise. he said it sounded different. I said yeah because it has grease in it..
Brilliant work mick!! Awesome work!! I’ve used l&s engineers myself for Stihl parts and they’re a brilliant help! Friendly and reliable! Yeah the parts are expensive but at least they’re the real deal!!
Great video I am pulling apart gearbox on my Shindaiwa AH230s/LW hedge trimmer pinion gear has stripped. I've removed everything including the circlip but can't gear that gear off the shaft easily...
Here you go mate .. page 12 and 13 the gear is part of the clutch drum.. www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=www.lawnsite.com/attachments/hs45-tech-manual-pdf.361009/&ved=2ahUKEwiZvMaqnuX9AhXEEsAKHW3zC3gQFnoECB0QAQ&usg=AOvVaw3uOikfwoxoxNxDZ2A_bGvU
Great job on fixing that. I have the identical hedgecutter on my Stihl Kombi 131R [the most powerful engine in the KM range] and will have to think twice if I have a similar issue. On the lighter side - your blue gloves ...New business name - 'Turf and Smurf'. Love your uploads [full of mirth!]
Hi Mick, I had to do similar to my cutter head a few years back, I think I did a video. I got away with just the connecting rods so it didn’t cost me that much. I have 2 of the heads so I always have back up if one breaks down. Good video🙂👍
Nice repair Mick! Glad to see you using oem Stihl parts. Should last your customer a long time! Working with grease is a sure thing that your going to get down and dirty! Roger
Morning mate, the main cog bearing and the bearing bushing pin I'm struggling to remove, any tips or help would be amazing and really appreciated. I've followed your whole videos to do all the work myself but this is the only part I'm struggling with. Your tutorials are wesome help and really easy to understand. Thanks Mick.
I have mate, I've taken the circlip off the main cog but cannot see to extract to replace. And the pin for bushing pin is in tight. I have 3 sets and in one the bushing pin has snapped... a bit stuck now😂
to get that drive gear off that mick supposedly used a screwdriver to prize it up is not the way to do it. I doubt he ever did it this way. Yes ive rebuilt probably 500 of these units.
Just had a problem with same type hedge cutter all the little needle bearing had jumped out of the ring,my engineer had patience to put them back in as I fished them out with a small magnet,got it back together still wouldn't turn,a small piece of very hard twig wad stuck between 2 blades,reckon that had jammed the blades and thrown the pitman bars(conrods) off
You must sleep well at night , and that hedge trimmer was a quality piece of kit worth the expense if looked after. Not satisfied with that you then show the fabulous Hayter all worth the effort you put into them. Shame about the coffin ⚰️ it just requires a name on it LOL 😂 Tam👍.
Oh I was told I can't put a name on it lol as it's for the month in law lol. The funny thing is she was inside having a sleep lol hope all is good my friend
Hi Mick, great work. Wondering if you have help please. I bought a second hand Stihl KM56RC which had somehow been modified to just take the long reach hedge trimmers only. That’s what I believe to be the case anyway, unless they changed the housing in the motor itself. The shaft of the long reach trimmer goes directly into the plastic housing. I used it once and upon the second attempt the motor worked fine but the blades are inoperable. So I opened up the gearbox casing and it seems that spur and pinion have been slightly damaged through wear and tear (that’s what I believe to be the reason why it doesn’t work) My questions are the following if you wouldn’t mind answering… As I have limited markings on the long reach trimmer to work out what model number it is I’d like to ensure I buy the right gears for the unit, do you know if the long reach multi tool and the long reach normal series have the same gear box? In your opinion are there any other reasons why the blades would not work? Thanks in advance for your help, any advice would be great appreciated.
Interesting. I hope i don't see one LOL. Testing a hedger on a coffin. To funny. You look like a Halloween character running that thing. BTW I never knew what a Haytor was until I subbed to you.
Lol the funny thing is the mother in law was asleep inside it lol .. the hayters sell like the Honda over here.. if you can get them cheap your Inna winner
@@themowerman mine has the 2 bearings connected to the pinion and when I put the puller under the pinion it wont budge .it comes out as a whole unit not just the gear.any ideas for me thanks
Hi again Mick, Just an update from last month, this problem is on my HL95 hedge cutter, I ended up changing the 2 bearings on the pinion gear, which is the one that drives the cam gear for the blades, for some reason the pinion gear is actually working its way out of the casing, so hence the smaller drive gear isn't engaging on the cam, have you ever come across this issue before and if so how can I fix this? Regards Graham
Hi, I've just come across your video and I would like to ask if you still have a part number for the pinion gear which you removed, I know its a fair while ago now since you did the video, But what stihl are doing now is there trying to sell all the pinion gears in a set for the whole gearbox which I don't really want. Thanks
@@themowerman Hi Mick, any luck with finding the part number for that pinion Gear, stihl is insisting I have to buy the whole 3 sets of Pinions, which is ridiculous.
Hi Mick I have the same attachment, the 135degree adjustment arm on mine seems to have broken when I pull the black plastic casing back it doesn't seem to have any spring and the pin doesn't connect properly. Haven't really seen any repair videos on that part of these attachments is it repairable? Thanks for your vids I'm a regular viewer and your knowledge has been invaluable mate 👌👍 cheers
The term cog refers to an individual tooth on a gear. My pet hate is people calling gears and sprockets, cogs. My tip on stihls replace the grease plug with a modified grease nipple. Usually found on eBay, search stihl grease nipple. Client can then grease their gearbox regularly with a grease gun.
@@JB-ly3eo ofcourse you will know the gearbox on the stihls isn’t actually sealed so it’s impossible to over pressurise, I’ve seen more issues on these due to a lack of grease rather than too much, of which I have never seen once. It’s a hedge trimmer g/box not a double roller taper bearing on a high load machine. Get real

Great video mate jobs a good un

Hey Mick great video. I wonder if something got caught in the blade when the guy was cutting to bust that up like that.
Lack of grease mate.. a yearly service is not enough..

Great video Mick - L&S Engineers are really good for Stihl parts - check out their Husqvarna parts as well - really good prices.
They are a fantastic company.. yeah I have used them for husky parts too..

Hi.. yes sometimes the head breaks.. on the tool.. try spinning the shaft by hand to see if the blades will spin..

Wow he done a real number on that. If the teeth are damaged maybe he's hit wire or something?
Could be or hes run it with very little grease
Hi mick - any ideas how you remove the top bracket plate above con rods on stihl HLA 65 ?
No idea mate is that electric
@@themowerman it is yes , pain in the arse 😂

Nana lol
No shim and no gasket? It will be back in for a repair of more damage within a few hours of use.
Nope.. it's still going strong.. no issues
Great fix, I’ve never been into one of those.
Was the 38 or 138 pounds?
£138 with tax.. and a new one is £250 ish.. ta for watching mate

rubbish, a modified grease nipple forces too much grease under too much pressure into the gearbox. Too much grease is as bad as too little.

Common problem on all hedge trimmers, a thick stem got stuck,
Hi mate yeah maybe.. not a lot of grease in the box too
@@themowerman no to thick stem cut
Well you will get it fixed for if he took it to the shop ouch goei his wallet and to buy it double ouch see you later young man and your family
Only needed the rods, see straight away the bearings had gone🫡 L&S are pretty good though
Ta for watching mate
