I had a ryobi trimmer, it was a ripper. In the end asking it to do too much hard work and the drive shaft/wire down the middle broke at one end. I tried to fix it by shorteneing things up but it didnt work.
That middle Tanaka looks like it might be the same one. Well the starter is the same 3 bolt pattern
I will chase up some pictures. I thought i had put some on the forum here but i cant find em.
