Karl,

I seem to recall TroyBilt looking like the same thing at Lowe's last year.
I'm pretty sure Anderson's General Store in central Ohio carries them,
so they might still have some if they've been discontinued.

Looks like I should try to find an "extra" powerhead, too.
I've been using the Ryobi 4-stroke for about four years now.
After the carb-screw re-tightening, (sometime last year) it still runs like
a champ.
The reason it works well for me is that the engine is run year-round,
so it never sits for 6 months and gums up. (Plus, I use StaBil during
the winter, too.) Have the string trimmer, old-style hedge trimmer, blower,
chain saw pruner, recip saw pruner (takes sawzall blades), blade style
trimmer,
roto tiller and snowblower attachments. (All made of metal, by the way...)
Still looking for the margurita blender and
the skateboard attachments, though...

Convinced her gas was best. Now I'm looking for the 4 stroke Ryobi. None
at
Home Depot so I'm going to check out the garden stores tomorrow.
Thanks
