Description
Overview:
This clutch drum is a Genuine Stihl service part designed for Stihl handheld machines that use a centrifugal clutch, including brushcutters such as the FS36 and FS55. The drum sits over the clutch shoes and transfers drive smoothly to the output, helping the head spin up cleanly under load. Built from durable steel with a wear‐resistant finish, it is made to withstand regular engagement and the heat and friction of everyday trimming and edging. Use it to replace a worn, scored, or out‐of‐round drum to restore smooth take‐up, reduce slippage, and maintain reliable performance. Identified by Stihl Part No. 4140 160 2909, it provides the correct fit and alignment for the listed models and is suitable for both professional and domestic use.
