Description
Overview:
The 22" (approx. 56 cm) Drive Tube Assembly, Top Section, is a genuine Stihl OEM component that links the powerhead to the lower shaft on selected grass trimmers and Kombi engines such as the FS 55 and KM 55. Built around a robust, lightweight aluminium outer tube with factory-fitted ends, it keeps the inner drive shaft accurately supported and aligned for smooth power transfer to the cutting head. This upper tube section is designed for direct replacement where the original tube is bent, worn, or damaged, restoring correct geometry and reducing vibration. Manufactured to Stihl tolerances (OEM ref. 4140 710 7128), it delivers dependable fit and durability for everyday use in domestic, professional, and grounds-maintenance tasks.
