see how many splines yours has

Unfortunately my UMK435E isn't listed for this head. The washer has 10 splines but as you can see from the photos, I require one with 6.

Have you got a local Honda dealer? They would sell you the pack with the nut/washers etc.
It would normally come with the strimmer when new.

What are you wanting to cut with the blade?

I'm just looking to trim off some easy-reach softwood branches up to about 50mm thick. I've looked into the chainsaw pruner attachment, but the circular blades look pretty effective. Also, I don't fancy messing around with chain lubricant etc. It's not the kind of shower you want on a hot day.

I used to have the Honda 35cc strimmer, it was just the standard size of blade 1"/25.4mm

Most blades will be 25.4mm, with a washer if you need 20mm

Did your Honda have 6 splines or 10? Thanks!

Mine has 10 as well, maybe yours had a new gear head.

You don't want to use it for trimming branches, with a blade it's a brushcutter, for cutting woody stuff around ground level
