Craftsman 536773510 high wheel brush trimmer Parts

Yes, TrimmerPlus attachments can work with Craftsman power heads, but only when the Craftsman unit is a TrimmerPlus-capable attachment system. The Craftsman 536773510 is a high wheel brush trimmer, so it is not the same type of attachment-capable string trimmer power head described for TrimmerPlus.

This model is a walk-behind high wheel weed trimmer with a rotating trimmer head and fixed cutting line setup, not a detachable-shaft attachment system. For model-specific operating and component details, use the 536773510 owner’s manual.

• Confirm your unit is a straight-shaft or split-shaft “power head” designed for attachments
• Look for a coupler/connection point where the shaft separates (typical attachment interface)
• Verify the attachment brand calls out TrimmerPlus compatibility (or “accepts TrimmerPlus attachments”)
• Match the drive connection style (square/hex/flex shaft) and coupler size used by your power head
• If your unit is a walk-behind trimmer like 536773510, plan on line and wear-part maintenance instead of attachments

On the 536773510, edging is typically done by technique (tilting/positioning) and keeping the cutting line at the correct length and condition, rather than installing an edger attachment.

If your concern is cutting performance (not attachments), these model-matched parts are often the fix:

• Trim line 79999 (correct replacement cutting line)
• Check the trimmer head set screw tightness (per manual procedure)
• Inspect for worn drive components if the head will not engage

Using an attachment on a power head that is not designed for it can lead to poor performance, unsafe operation, or damage to the drive system. Confirming the tool type (attachment-capable power head vs. walk-behind trimmer) prevents wrong-part purchases.

On Craftsman model 536773510, the trimmer head is mounted with the shield and is removed as part of the same teardown used for drive belt service. That process includes removing shield fasteners and slipping the belt off the pulleys before the head and shield come off together; see the 536773510 owner’s manual.

• Shut the engine off and wait for all moving parts to stop.
• Disconnect the spark plug wire.
• Let the muffler and engine cool before working near the head/shield.
• Wear eye protection and gloves.
• Work on a flat, stable surface.

1. Remove the two fasteners that hold the rear of the shield to the trimmer housing.
2. Remove the four fasteners that hold the front of the shield and trimmer head to the housing.
3. Remove the V-pulley from the idler bracket.
4. Raise the front of the housing and remove the drive belt (do not bend belt guides).
5. With the belt off, remove the trimmer head and shield assembly.
6. Install the replacement head/shield assembly and reassemble in reverse order.
7. Confirm the belt is routed inside all belt guides and all fasteners are tight.

If a nut is stripped or will not hold torque, replace it with a model-matched fastener such as nut, 1/4-20 703232.

On the 536773510, removing the head without addressing the belt and shield mounting can lead to misalignment, vibration, or a head that keeps turning when it should stop.

A “whipper snipper,” “snipper,” and “line trimmer” are usually the same tool with different regional names. For the Craftsman 536773510 high wheel brush trimmer, the cutting system is a rotating trimmer head that uses replaceable nylon trimmer line (not a metal blade). See the Craftsman 536773510 owner’s manual for the correct line size and operating safety.

• Line trimmer (string trimmer): Spins nylon line to cut grass and light weeds.
• Whipper snipper / snipper: Common nickname for a line trimmer (often used outside the U.S.).
• Brush cutter (different tool): Often uses a metal blade or heavy-duty head for thick brush.

This model is designed around nylon line cutting, and the manual specifies the line size and length for best performance.

• Uses 0.155-inch diameter trimmer line
• Uses 21.5-inch line length per side (balanced lengths help reduce vibration)
• Designed for weeds and grass; thick woody brush is not the intended use case

If you need replacement cutting line that matches this model’s specs, use trim line 79999.

Using the correct cutting method and line size helps the trimmer head stay balanced, reduces vibration, and improves trimming performance. It also helps protect wear parts like the height guide and drive system.

For the Craftsman 536773510 high wheel brush trimmer, we use 0.155-inch diameter trimmer line cut to 21.5 inches per line. This model uses fixed-length lines (not a spool), so matching both the diameter and length helps prevent vibration and poor cutting.

• Line diameter: 0.155 inch
• Line length (each piece): 21.5 inches
• Replace when: the line is worn to less than half its original length
• Keep line flexible: store extra nylon line in water so it stays moist and less brittle

You can confirm these specs in the 536773510 owner’s manual.

• Cut both lines to the same length (within about 1 inch)
• Replace line as a pair so the trimmer head stays balanced
• Check that the line is routed through the correct loops and center hole on the retainer
• Tighten the trimmer head set screw if you notice wobble
• Use the shield’s length guide to verify 21.5-inch line length

If you want a compatible replacement line for this model, use the trim line 79999.

This trimmer’s head is designed around a heavy-gauge, fixed-length line. Using the correct 0.155-inch line at 21.5 inches helps the head stay balanced, reduces vibration, and delivers the cutting performance the Craftsman 536773510 was built for.

For the Craftsman 536773510 high wheel brush trimmer, neither .080 nor .095 is the best match; this model is designed for 0.155-inch trimmer line. Using the correct diameter helps cutting performance, reduces vibration, and helps the head retain line (per the Craftsman 536773510 owner’s manual).

The manual lists these specs for the Craftsman 536773510:

• Trimmer line diameter: 0.155 inch
• Trimmer line length: 21.5 inches (cut both lines to the same length)
• Replace the line when it wears to less than half its original length
• Keep spare nylon line moist (stored in water) to reduce brittleness and extend life

If you want a compatible replacement option, use trim line 79999 when it matches your cutting needs.

Those sizes are commonly used on many handheld string trimmers, but they are undersized for this high wheel brush trimmer design.

• .095: more durable, better for thicker weeds, breaks less often
• .080: cuts lighter grass well, but wears faster and snaps easier
• Either size can lead to poor trimming performance on this model because the head is intended for heavier line

Correct line diameter and equal line length help keep the trimmer head balanced. That reduces vibration, improves cut quality, and helps prevent the head from failing to retain the line.

For the Craftsman 536773510 high wheel brush trimmer, .095-inch line is not the correct size; this model is designed for 0.155-inch diameter trimmer line, so “best” should be judged within that size. Using the correct diameter helps cutting performance and reduces vibration (see the 536773510 owner’s manual).

Our guidance for Craftsman 536773510 is to stick with the specified line size and length for balanced rotation and consistent trimming.

• Diameter: 0.155 inch (this is the model specification)
• Length: 21.5 inches per line (cut to the length guide)
• Replace when worn: when the line is less than half its original length
• Keep line flexible: store spare nylon line in water to reduce brittleness

If you need compatible replacement cutting line for this model, use trim line 79999.

Correct line diameter and matched line lengths help keep the trimmer head balanced. That reduces vibration, protects the trimmer head drive system, and improves cut quality in thick weeds.
