Overview:
The Friction Retarder Cassette is a genuine Husqvarna spare designed for petrol disc cutters, including the K760 and K770. It is a pre-assembled component that sits within the drive system to maintain correct friction characteristics for smooth, predictable operation. Built with a robust metal body and heat-resistant friction material, it withstands dust, vibration, and high operating temperatures typical of cutting work. By keeping the drive system working as intended, it helps preserve cutting performance and reduces unnecessary wear on related parts. Supplied to Husqvarna OEM specification (OEM No. 505 44 54 05), it offers a dependable, direct-fit solution for routine servicing or repairs where drive behaviour has become inconsistent. Suitable for professional users and competent DIY owners who need reliable uptime from their disc cutters.
