Hi Mowerfreak
Yes � Weedeater badge engineered Mcculloch � mine is called the McCulloch Electrolux BVM250 � don�t know the Weedeater model number though.
I have actually seen an Orange Husky branded one exactly the same � must have been some low end stuff for a brand like husky.
I can�t find this exact model, but I found their previous models shared (pictures attached). These were late 90s.
I know they ended up buying Talon, McCulloch (from Electrolux), Jonsered, Partner, and several others, so that�s probably why.
[Edit: Electrolux owned Husky - as well as Weedeater. Now the Husqvarna Group encompasses the above, plus Poulan and Flymo. I Learn Something new everyday :)]
The Weedeater Featherlite was the Mac TM251, the other I�ve got is a Weedeater WT 320 cls, same as MT 320 cls. Except colour.
In case you haven�t already guessed, I have a line trimmer addiction
With regards to the Ryobi Ryan motors, I too agree the older ones are better. One I�ve got it 1991 (roughly) and takes a cj6y plug, the other is mid 90s and takes a dj7y. I can�t make a distinction on compression � because only the earlier one has a clutch. The older one seems better though. I intend to get an older green one sometime, when I see one at the tip that is in ok condition.
Regards
Tyler
