Transmission, Brake & Clutch

A chainsaw clutch drum works by driving the chain along with the gear. The gear and clutch drum are engaged by the clutch when the engine’s speed picks up. The chainsaw clutch drum likely needs replacement when the chain isn’t turning. This repair is easy to complete and can be accomplished with minimal tools. The hardest part of this repair might be the removal of the old chainsaw clutch drum in cases where they are misshaped or warped from damage from continual friction. Many will work well past the point when they should be replaced, so it is essential to monitor your chainsaw parts for noticeable signs of disrepair or inefficiency. This chainsaw clutch drum is compatible with Craftsman and Poulan chainsaws. It is a high-quality genuine OEM clutch consisting of durable metal.

The clutch connects to the crankshaft of the chainsaw engine. The crankshaft turns the up and down motion of the pistols into a rotation, which turns the drum and makes the chain go around. As the inner drum of the clutch starts to wear out, it puts more and more pressure on the springs, causing them to break. So, without a properly functioning clutch, the engine will run, but the blade will not turn. Replace the chainsaw clutch assembly using our genuine OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer. A socket wrench and a screwdriver will be needed. Start by removing the chain brake cover to gain access to the clutch. Remove the chain and bar and then bind the piston in place. From there, use a screwdriver to remove and replace the clutch. This part is compatible with Poulan or Craftsman brand products. Sold individually.

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 genuine OEM replacement part is a sprocket kit for an electric chainsaw. This kit includes a sprocket, a C-clip, and a retaining washer. This sprocket has six teeth which engage the chain of the saw. As the sprocket turns, so too does the chain. It connects to the sprocket drum bearing. The retaining washer provides a barrier between these parts, all of which are held in place by the C-clip. If a sprocket comes out of alignment, it can quickly degrade to the point that the teeth no longer engage the chain and may even break off. Should this happen, the sprocket will appear to spin but the chain will not move. When switching out a sprocket, it is good practice to also replace the washer and C-clip, as they often experience the same amount of wear and tear. To do so, use a pair of pliers or a screwdriver to pop off the old clip and remove the parts by hand. Reassemble with the new parts. This kit is compatible only with Poulan electric chainsaws and does not include any additional hardware. As a quality replacement kit, these parts come sourced from their original manufacturer.
