Here is a RedMax BC3400 trimmer I got as a freebie helping a buddy put some plugs in his car. He found it in the junk, some older man apparently brought it in to recycle, its only 12 years old, and seems in good shape.
Muffler was plugged with mud daubers, but was, and is, running well. Compression is 120psi, seems a little low, will at least refresh it with rings.
Are these pro grade trimmers? How much were they new? $60 will pretty much get me everything I think I need for a rebuild and some other parts like the guard and air filter cover and top cover.
Doesn't seem much lighter than my FS-250, but since the Shindy T-20 isn't running as of now, plan on using it as my trimmer for when the grass gets too tall for my cheapo Bolens and other grass/brushcutting duties when needed.
PO has filled the whole shaft full of grease, so much that it squeezed out into the clutch. Don't really know how it even worked.. Bet there must be 2lb worth of grease in there. Got some of it out of the top of the tube to keep it out of the clutch, guess will leave the rest in there.
Here is the P/C. The piston still has the machine marks on it in most spots, but is shiny in others. I was thinking that was normal wear, is that true?
Is this normal? A new piston is $25, does it need one? I will get one if ya'll think it would be needed.
Apologies for the bad pictures, thanks for any info..
