Description
Overview:
This Gear Box Assembly is a genuine Stihl service part for selected walk-behind mulching lawn mowers, including the RM 4.0 RT and MB 4.0 RT. It forms the wheel-drive unit that transfers engine power via the drive belt to move the mower forward at a steady pace, helping maintain consistent cutting and mulching performance. Built with a robust cast-alloy housing and steel internal components, it is engineered to cope with repeated use and shock loads from everyday mowing. Use this assembly to replace a worn, noisy, or seized original unit and restore reliable self-propel operation. Supplied as a direct replacement for OEM No. 6383 640 0100, it matches original mounting points for straightforward fitting and correct alignment on compatible models.
