It's not the most powerful ever built but there is something very satisfying about taking something old/used/abused and giving it new life.

Things done:
1. New carb
2. New spark
3. New air filter
3. Fresh black high heat paint

Hoping to add a Landscape Blade to this in the near future.

Very Nice job!!! A paint job to make it your own

It looks good @SGrabs33 How old is that? I have the SRM 225 and hope that it gives me years of service.

@pennstater2005 I actually have no idea. I traded some other lawn equipment for it. I think as long as these are used with a high quality oil and ethanol free gas mix they can last for a long while. I plan to use the same Stihl mix that I use for my BR600 backpack blower and Echo PB-251 handheld blower. Hoping it lasts a while longer :thumbup:

Great job! That should last awhile for you and that's plenty of trimmer if you even plan to maintain your lawn twice a month. I like saving old equipment as well. Something rewarding to it. Plus it's usually a bargain when the labor is hobby work you enjoy!

That looks great! Very cool. I love my 225. It took me a while to get used to it, but I now realize that the machine is a workhorse.

If I were you, I might put the fresh in refresh and put a TLF sticker on that bad boy

That paint is outstanding.

I can tell you that my 210 has been with me since 2003. It's given me very little trouble, and has had plenty of power for everything I have thrown at it. I've had to change the fuel lines, and tune the carb, couple of new plugs and a primer bulb here and there, but that's it. It's been as reliable as my TroyBilt pressure washer with a Honda GCV160 engine. They both start on the second pull, every season I bring them out from storage. I'm considering getting a landscape blade for my 210, but I like the appeal of having different attachments for the Kombi system.

I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one if you find out it works well with the LB.

Thanks everyone!

Something rewarding to it.

Agreed, I also had a Grandpa who was a huge engine guy so I always feel like I am channeling him :thumbup:

Good to know your 225 has worked well. Good idea on the sticker as that Echo sticker doesn't look too hot anymore.

Great to know!!!

Awesome! I've wanted to get into fixing old equipment. Lots of people around here leave machines out at the curb. One lawn mower had a sign 'works great but pull cord broke'.
