Craftsman Pruner Transmission, Brake & Clutch

This OEM sprocket assembly contains a sprocket, which is a circular gear with teeth that engage with the links on a chain to move the chain forward.A new sprocket assembly will be needed if the part is broken in any way or if the sprocket teeth are worn off. If it's not immediately obvious to the eye, a test can be performed to determine if a new sprocket assembly is needed. Simply move the chain and if at any point the chain becomes stuck, this means a new sprocket assembly is needed. Remember to wear gloves when operating or performing care and maintenance on any outdoor power equipment machines.This is a genuine MTD part sourced directly from the manufacturer and is sold individually. The sprocket assembly is compatible with trimmers manufactured by either Troy-Bilt or Cub Cadet.

This is a replacement sprocket for use in various types of handheld lawn and garden tools. It is sourced directly from the manufacturer and is identical to the sprockets found in the original equipment. Sprockets can be used for a range of applications. They are often used as a means to drive the chain around the chain bar on a chainsaw or pruner, for example. The metal sprocket could need to be replaced at some point. Over time, it could start to wear down, or there is a chance that it could bend slightly or corrode. This would reduce its effectiveness, and it could even present a danger to the user. Owners should inspect the sprocket when they are doing routine maintenance and replace it if needed. Replacement of the part is typically simple to do. The sprocket is a genuine OEM part that is sold individually. It is used for chainsaws and pole pruners, and it can be found in some trimmer attachments. It is compatible with certain models from Husqvarna, Poulan, and Poulan Pro.

The clutch assembly is located in the clutch drum and connected to the drive shaft of the motor. This part is what allows the engine to idle without actually driving the cutter on lawn and garden equipment. The clutch is constantly engaged, so it can wear out over time and eventually need to be replaced. It may also become damaged in a direct impact or incident. If the clutch assembly fails, this could impact the ability of the engine to idle properly or even to remain running once it's started. This replacement part can offer an exact fit for compatible engines. This OEM clutch assembly is manufactured to high standards by Poulan and is designed to be compatible with various machines from Poulan, Weed Eater, Jonsered, and Husqvarna. The clutch assembly is a replacement part for various trimmers and pruners from the brands listed above. Replacing the clutch will require a wrench, screwdriver, pliers, and socket set. Be sure to cool the engine completely and wear gloves when doing repairs on lawn and garden equipment for safety.

The clutch drum assembly seen here from Husqvarna is an important part of machines such as trimmers and pruners. The purpose of the clutch drum is to engage the clutch to spin the flex shaft and the cutting head. The clutch drum assembly could need to be replaced for many reasons. One of the most common signs is when the trimmer head stops spinning when it encounters weeds, grass, etc. Other signs include having a drive shaft that will not engage or a clutch that won't engage the drum. Sometimes, the lining in the clutch drum could become stripped, so there will be no torque when it is used. Replacing the clutch drum assembly can be a complicated task and will require a range of tools. Owners will also need to empty the fuel from the machine before they replace the clutch drum. This authentic clutch drum assembly is an OEM part from Husqvarna. It is sold individually and works for certain models of string trimmer and pole pruner. Brands that are compatible in addition to models from Husqvarna include Craftsman, Weed Eater, Poulan, and Poulan Pro.
