Overview
Designed as a plug-and-trim aftermarket replacement, this pre-wound spool fits directly into the trimmer head without any custom winding. Factory spools eventually run out, and hand-winding bulk line can be time-consuming and prone to tangles. This replacement spool provides properly wound line that feeds smoothly from the first tap.

Common questions
Q: Will the 88175 Trimmer Replacement Spool Large 73-8190 fit my Toro 51346 or 51355 string trimmer?
Yes, this spool is designed to work with Toro 51346 and 51355, and it is also compatible with models 51256, 51301, and 51326. It’s also used as a 30 ft spool option for Toro 88026 10 in, 12 in, and 14 in trimmers, so it’s important to match your model number on the trimmer label before installing.
Q: How much line comes on this 88175 large replacement spool, and is it ready to install out of the package?
This is a pre-wound 30 ft replacement spool, so it comes ready to install without needing to wind line yourself. Just remove the spool cap, take out the old spool, feed the line through the eyelet, and seat the new spool in the same direction as the original for proper feed.
Q: My Toro 88026 keeps jamming or not feeding line correctly—will replacing it with this spool help, and is there anything I should check during installation?
If the old spool is worn, warped, or the line is fused together, replacing it with this 88175 spool can often restore normal line feed. While installing, clean out any grass or debris from the spool housing and make sure the line is routed cleanly through the eyelet, because dirt buildup and misalignment are common causes of feed problems.
