Description
Overview:
The Stihl Thrust Plate (OEM 4237 642 4800) is a genuine replacement component used in the blade drive/gearbox area of select Stihl hedge trimmers, including HS81T and HS86T. Made from durable steel, it provides a stable thrust surface for the reciprocating mechanism, helping to keep the drive aligned and reducing friction and wear. Replacing a worn or damaged plate restores smooth blade movement and consistent cutting, and helps protect mating parts in the drive system. This part fits exactly as the original and is suitable for routine servicing or repair when the gearhead shows play, scoring, or irregular operation. It corresponds to Stihl MPN 42376424800 and alternate number 4237-642-4800.
