4182 710 7140 STIHL Drive Tube Assembly – Genuine OEM Part
The STIHL Drive Tube Assembly (4182 710 7140) is a genuine OEM replacement drive tube designed for use in select STIHL pole pruners and professional high-reach pruning systems.
This drive tube assembly serves as the primary structural and driveline housing of the pole pruner, supporting the internal drive shaft and connecting the powerhead to the gear head cutting attachment. Proper drive tube alignment and rigidity are essential for smooth power transmission, reduced vibration, and safe operation during pruning applications.
Manufactured to STIHL factory specifications, this OEM drive tube assembly ensures precise fitment, structural strength, and long service life under demanding professional operating conditions.
Replacing a bent, cracked, or worn drive tube assembly helps restore proper driveline alignment and prevents premature wear of internal driveline and gear head components.
