Overview:
This Tension Spring is a genuine Stihl OEM part for ride-on mowers, engineered to keep belts and linkages under the correct tension for reliable operation. Made from high‐tensile spring steel with a corrosion‐resistant finish, it withstands repeated loading and outdoor conditions. It replaces tired or broken springs that can cause belt slip, poor drive, or inconsistent deck engagement. Designed for Stihl models such as MT 4097.1 SX and MT 4112.1 S, it delivers the correct rate and hook geometry for a precise fit. Supplied under OEM No. 6165 703 5130, it helps maintain smooth cutting and drive performance across a wide range of Stihl MT and RT series lawn tractors.
