Hi all.
I have a Homelite HK-18S that has the Kawasaki engine... It came with a blade but it doesn't have the string head.. I am looking for one if someone has a spare.
Ken.

Also if it is left or right hand threads. I thinking it is LH and probably one of the Echo speed load heads will work but as said need to threading info.

I have used a number of these heads, they are good and come with multiple adapters various thread types to fit left and right hand, straight and bent shaft units. They are dead easy to fit new cord and cost me about $15 each from memory

That probably is considered a M10 -1.50 LH. I have listing for brands that use that size but none my aftermarket vendors has them available. That HK18 was probably made before 1986 as the '86 and newer used the M10-1.25 LH
