I recently put rings in an original Weed Eater and a Poulan 35. I ordered rings online. Upon receiving the new rings and comparing them to mine, I did in fact have worn rings on both machines. I didn't have all that many hours I thought. I was using Stihl Premium gray bottle 100% Syn at their recommended rate of 50:1. Got to looking at the manual for one of them, forget which, and it said 40:1 was the required mix. So I upped the mix after the rebuild.
So, after all that work and all I put them to work and the 35 ripped out the woodruff key slot on the flywheel after about a spool of string and the WE ran for a couple of hours and just quit, wouldn't restart.
I threw both in the trash and went to Attwoods farm store and bought a Stihl FS-50 C-E. It weighs 11# instead of the 17 (I measured) on the 35, has a curved shaft (my choice over the FS-56 with gearbox) rather than the straight pipe and gearbox the 35 has, has the Stihl easy start neither has (getting too old to have to pump and pump an outdated designed manual starter) and has a 7" longer shaft length for my 6'5" frame the WE doesn't have which is sweeeeeeet. So much for that.....life is good.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
