How do I get the string attachment off a McCulloch Eager Beaver 282 weed trimmer?
I have a McCulloch Eager Beaver 282 weed wacker that was given to me. Runs great but, can't get the attachment off to lengthen the string. Tried some of the free manual sites but had no luck. The serial number is worn off, so that doesn't help
I don't know if I will be of much help but the list below is from the McCulloch website:
How do I change the trimmer line?
There are five ways to change trimmer line depending upon the style of trimmer head on your unit.
The first style has a locking tab on the side of the trimmer head that must be depressed while the lock ring is turned counter-clockwise. This will remove the cover and give access to the spool which can then be pulled out, rewound with the line (winding in the direction of the arrows on the spool), and re-installed.
The second style requires lining up the marks on the bottom of the spool tap/button assembly and firmly pulling straight out on the tap button. This pulls the spool assembly out so it can be re-wound and inserted back into the hub assembly.
The third style requires pushing in and down on the two locking tabs on the side of the trimmer head. This will remove the cover and give you access to the spool.
The fourth style of trimmer head is the Centrex. Remove the cap on the bottom of the head by unscrewing it. Remove the guide ring and remove the spool from the unit. Cut a 25ft length of line and insert one end into the center cavity of the empty spool. Feed the line into the spool, leaving 4-6 inches unwound from the center of the spool. Reinstall the spool, guide and cap, making sure the notch in the guide is facing away from the spool and the line is in the notch.
The fifth style is the fixed line cutting head. This style cutting head uses a pre-cut piece of cutting line. After removing the worn line from the cutting head, insert the precut piece into the positioning tunnel leaving an equal amount out each side of the tunnel. The ends of the line can then be inserted through the exit tunnels.
If the instructions above don't help you can go to the McCulloch manual page here

and see if you can find a manual for the Eager Beaver 282. I can not help you with this as you need a model number along the lines of these samples:
OM, MCT2024, 2008-06, TRIMMERS/EDGERS, 966991901, 6096202407
Good luck with your adventure,
