Description
Overview:
The Worm Shaft for Stihl MH 585.0 and MH 685.0 tillers is a genuine Stihl/Viking transmission component that drives the tines via the reduction gearbox. Built from precision‐machined steel for strength and long service life, it transfers engine torque smoothly to the working parts of the machine. This OEM shaft (OEM No. 6241 642 0394, MPN 62416420394) is engineered to fit the specified Stihl/Viking tiller gearcases without modification, maintaining correct mesh and alignment with mating gears. If your tiller is slipping, noisy, or showing play in the drive, a worn worm shaft is a common cause-replacement restores reliable ground engagement and consistent performance. Suitable for garden tillers used by homeowners, landscapers, and professional grounds teams who need dependable power transmission.
