Hi all,

I inherited two broken GrassHog weedwhackers.
In the spirit of 'Reduce, Reuse, Recycle',
I repaired one.

I drilled a 12 mm x 25 mm bolt through the middle
and epoxied it to the motor shaft. Then I salvaged
the ventilation fan from the broken trimmer head by
cutting it to size with my lathe. I mounted a
GrassHog bladed head on to the arbor using a matching
mounting nut that I drilled and tapped to M12 1.75.

In test, it quickly sliced up some thick vegetation.
This is an impossible feat with the original head.
