Description
Overview:
This genuine Stihl thrust plate is a 60 mm (2 3/8 in ≈ 60.3 mm) steel support washer used on heavy-duty brushcutters to stabilise the cutting head and spread load evenly. Finished in a corrosion‐resistant metallic coating, it sits between the gearbox/output shaft and the mowing head or metal blade to maintain correct spacing and reduce wear. Designed for demanding commercial and domestic work, it helps keep the machine running smoothly and protects adjacent components. Suitable for a wide range of Stihl machines, including the FS400 and FS450, it replaces OEM No. 4116 710 3800 for a precise, trouble-free fit.
