Weedeater Pruner Transmission, Brake & Clutch

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.
