Bevel Gears

[gardenmad]

Hi all

Anyone know where I can get pattern gears for the Stihl combi hedge cutter?

Just contacted stihl dealer for price and I'm not prepared to sell my soul to buy them:001_tt2: Thanks

There aren't any pattern ones available- and if there were they would have the longevity of cheese. Personally I would look at the cost of a replacement machine, work out how much your present machine has earned you prior to the gears needing replacing and then put the cost of new gears in perspective-and then consider whether they are expensive.

Got a pic of the gears you need?

Part number: 4230 640 7306 RRP £69.20 plus vat. I think that's reasonale to be honest with you. When was the last time you changed them and how much did you pay for them then?

Might be worth calling up some of the larger stihl dealers, they may have seized machines in the workshop they use for spares

The problem with these machines is that they dont get greased enough and the bearings fail as well as the gears. Usually by this time the con rods have gone as well.

 

I suspect you need a pinion set 4230 640 7305 at £156.87 plus vat.

 

Its a pig to fit, and quite frankly not worth doing, better get a new complete head.

Err...the pinion set for the KOMBI hedge cutter attachment which the OP has indicated he has, is not what you have quoted. My earlier post gives the correct price (a lot cheaper) and pt no.

Not sure what one you are referring to. I assumed Kombi tool KM-HL 0-135deg.

machine part no 4230 740 5000

Just checked on media-cat, what am I getting wrong?

just answered my own question, we are both right, the cheaper ones are for the old 0-90degree heads!

Not sure which one the OP has,I should have asked first.

Me too.
