Troy-Bilt String Trimmer Transmission, Brake & Clutch

This clutch assembly engages and disengages the drive system on a tiller, allowing the tines to spin when the clutch lever is activated. It transfers power from the engine to the tine shaft. Replace this assembly if the tines won't engage, slip during operation, or if the clutch lever no longer controls tine rotation properly.

The clutch assembly uses centrifugal force to connect the shafts and create the drive shaft motion that powers the machine. The drive shaft nests inside the other shaft, and over time these parts can wear and become damaged with regular use. Today's parts can even continue to function long past when they should, so it may not be apparent that a clutch assembly needs to be replaced until the entire unit is bad. If the engine is not performing as it should or if the drive shaft seems unstable, it may be time to replace the clutch assembly. This genuine OEM part includes everything needed for the job. This OEM clutch replacement is designed for use with various cultivators, edgers, and trimmers. It can be used on machines from MTD, RYOBI, Troy-Bilt, Bolens, Yard-Man, Cub Cadet, Murray, and Husky. This assembly includes the clutch, clutch drum, washer, and left-hand threaded screw. Always disengage the spark plug and allow the engine to cool completely before beginning repairs.
