Description
Overview:
This genuine Stihl compression spring is a small but vital component for maintaining correct force within the auger mechanism on selected Stihl earth augers. Made from durable metal in a helical coil form, it helps control movement and absorb shocks so the drive components operate smoothly under load. Designed for Stihl BT 308 and BT 360 machines, it supports consistent drilling performance and reliable tool behaviour across demanding ground conditions. As an OEM part (MPN 0000 997 0601), it is built to the correct specification for fit and function, reducing the risk of premature wear when compared with non‐genuine alternatives. It is a practical replacement when an existing spring has lost tension, become deformed, or failed through extended use.
Key Features:
- Genuine Stihl OEM part for assured fit and compatibility (0000 997 0601)
- Helps maintain correct compression force in the auger drive for smooth operation
- Durable metal coil designed for repeated cycling and vibration
- Direct-fit replacement to speed up maintenance and reduce downtime
- Supports consistent drilling starts and controlled feed pressure in soil
- Suitable for BT 308, BT 360 and selected related Stihl earth augers
- Engineered to work with OEM housings, guides and related hardware
- A sensible preventative replacement when symptoms of lost tension appear
Typical Applications:
Used in the auger mechanism of Stihl earth augers during tasks such as fence post boring, landscaping, tree planting, ground sampling, and utility installations. Ideal for restoring reliable operation when the original spring has weakened, corroded, or broken, helping to prevent chatter, inconsistent feed, and poor hole starts in varied soils.
