Help finding Tanaka powerhead adapter for StrikeMaster bit

[jwetovick]

Does anyone know where to buy one? I got one years ago and can’t remember where I got it. Now I need another one. Please help. Thanks

I bought an adapter to mate a Strikemaster Mora (blue) to a Tanaka 270 from EBay if I remember correctly?

Really? I looked but not much luck. Did your adapter on in the chuck or was it the one that you remove chuck and it screws on? Looking for the one that screws on.

Sorry my bad I use the Nils adapter.  The adapter I got from eBay mates to the Nils adapter.

Interesting. Any chance of a pic or what you used to search for it? Having a hell of a time.

Thanks Bart! Very well could be. I’m just not smart enough to know what size thread is even on my Tanaka to know if it’s same as a half in drill chuck.

The Tanaka output shaft is a 1/2"-20 thread, contact the ebay seller. This the same seller that I purchased my  Nils to Mora adapter from in 2014.

Perfect! That's what I needed to know! I should get the tanaka head in a couple days and will just double check. Also looking at rebuilding both carbs. The one i have now doesn't seem to start as well as it did when new. I tore the carb apart and cleaned it and the diaphrams all looked good so idk. As cheap as a rebuild kit is i will try it. Will also only run that good canned gas through it for no more than i use my gasser.

Also use Sea Foam and always store your auger with a full tank of gas to keep seals and lines from drying on you in the off season, plus start and run it a couple times during storage. When you get tired of all that, GET A DRILL!!!!!
