Bosch Hedge Trimmer Motor Armature 230V

Did the job - shame you have to replace such a major part for a stripped cog!

A hedge with many tough branches eventually killed the trimmer through a stripped gear driving the blades. I thought i could just replace the gear on the motor, but the drive gear is machined onto the armature. Oddly searching for the model 7000 Pro-T didn't show the part, but a more general search for armatures did. Either way - this is a bosch part and it fitted straight in. Seems to be just what was needed and the hedge cutter is back and working perfectly. Do take note of the various bearings, rods, pins and a thousand springs that make up the handle as you dismantle the trimmer - you need to be very methodical in putting it back together. This youtube video was a great help in reconstructing the whole mechanism. (also worth playing on half speed for the critical bits!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXLMBZmTNkI
