Lawn Trimmer Drive Shaft Housing Assembly

Lawn trimmer housing assemblies provide structural support and protection for critical internal components such as the drive shaft, starter, and throttle mechanisms. These assemblies ensure that moving parts remain aligned, secure, and shielded from dirt, debris, and moisture during operation.
The drive shaft housing assembly encases and protects the drive shaft, ensuring smooth transfer of power from the engine to the cutting head while keeping dirt and debris out of moving parts. The trimmer starter housing assembly secures and protects the starter mechanism, allowing reliable engine ignition and shielding the recoil components from damage. Regular inspection and maintenance of these assemblies prevents cracks, misalignment, and wear, keeping the trimmer efficient, safe, and long-lasting.

These parts are compatible with trusted manufacturers such as Milwaukee, Porter Cable, and Homelite.
