Product Overview
A cracked head, stripped thread, jammed spool, or bump feed that no longer advances line can turn routine trimming into constant stops. This C26-2 style head restores a serviceable spool and bump mechanism on matching straight-shaft machines.
Stihl model names alone are not enough because gearheads and thread sizes vary. Confirm the 10mm x 1.0 left-hand thread, rotation, guard, and approved line diameter before installation.

- Bump-feed line advance for routine trimming
- 10mm x 1.0 left-hand mounting thread
- Handles common .095-inch trimmer line

Compatibility Notice
Northline Parts does its best to list all known compatible models, but the correct part may fit an application not shown.
Model names and year ranges are a starting point. Match the original reference number, configuration, connections, mounting points, and product-specific details before ordering.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why will the head not screw on clockwise? A: It uses a left-hand thread, so the installation direction is opposite a normal right-hand fastener.
Q: Does it fit every Stihl trimmer? A: No. The machine must use the matching M10 x 1.0 left-hand mount and approved head style.
Q: What causes line not to advance? A: Incorrect winding, melted line, debris, a worn bump knob, or damaged spool parts can prevent feeding.
