[QUOTE=Kalhoun] Are you saying that Sindaiwa is the manufacturer of WeedWacker? I thought “Weedwacker” wasn’t the actual mgfr. but my BIL said it was. [/QUOTE] You might want to check “Weedeater”. I always thought “weed wacker” was a general term for a string trimmer. “Weedeater” made/makes string trimmers and other lawn equipment. I used to have a Weedeater lawn mower. Probably one of the best I ever owned. ---

Seriously, check EBay. My dad got me an owner’s manual for my second hand car from there. They have all sorts of odd things. ---

> [@Kalhoun](#): > > I googled around and couldn’t find Weedwacker’s site or any site that offered this up. Anyone know? Thanks!! The model 1920 is actually a WeedEater blower. I have a copy of the manual that I can scan and a parts list. If the blower is still around and it is not running, maybe I might offer something for it to use as parts because mine quit a few weeks ago. Please confirm that you received this message and the status of the model 1920. Thank you tall\_tiger ---
