Troy Bilt Wheeled Trimmer - HELP

[dan-d]

Hello folks, I picked up a Troy Bilt Wheeled Trimmer model number 52029. It's a 6HP with electric start and the engine runs great. But it's missing a critical part that MTD no longer makes. I've searched every where and can't seem to find one. The part is called a spindle head. The old part number is 1910861 and was replaced by part number 1918700. Does anyone out there have one, a used one would be fine. I just hate to junk this thing because it runs great and is in otherwise great condition.

If anyone also has one of these and has found substitute parts to modify it I would love to hear from you. - Thanks, Dan

Thanks Mark, I tried that email address and it was returned. Says it's un-deliverable, permanent failure.

All of those are for the 1918329 which is for a later model trimmer. Those have threads at the top and a different way of mounting to the shaft. I had one of them and there's just no way to make it work.
