Product Overview

A worn drum or hooked rim sprocket can make a good chain run rough, accelerate chain wear, and create drive noise. This kit replaces the rotating drive components between the clutch and chain so the saw can pull the chain smoothly again.

Pitch and tooth count must match the bar-and-chain setup. Inspect the clutch, bearing surface, oiling system, bar groove, and chain condition before putting the saw back to work.

This is a high-quality aftermarket replacement or service part and is not manufactured or supplied by the original equipment brand. The names below identify compatible applications only.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: When should the rim sprocket be replaced? A: Replace it when the drive pockets are visibly hooked, deeply worn, cracked, or causing rough chain travel.

Q: Can I use this with a 3/8-pitch chain? A: No. The rim pitch must match the chain and bar setup; this kit is .325 pitch.

Q: Does a new drum fix clutch slipping? A: Not if the clutch shoes, springs, bearing, or engine performance are the cause; inspect the complete drive system.
