Restore crisp drive engagement, smooth power transfer, and original factory cutting performance to your mid-range STIHL chainsaw with the Genuine OEM STIHL .325" 7-Tooth Spur Chain Sprocket Drum Assembly. Precision-engineered under factory part number 1141 640 2001 (1141-640-2001), this heavy-duty, one-piece spur sprocket and clutch drum unit is an exact direct-fit replacement designed to replace grooved, worn, or heat-damaged drive sprockets on 1141 series powerheads like the MS 271 and MS 291. Installing a fresh factory spur sprocket eliminates erratic chain chatter, prevents costly drive link burring, and stops chain slippage under heavy loads.
Featuring a standard 7-tooth (7T) drive spur profile calibrated specifically for .325" pitch guide bars and saw chains, this drive assembly delivers the optimal balance of cutting torque and engine RPM control for mid-displacement powerheads. Crafted as a single, solid-forged steel component, the integral drive teeth are induction-hardened to resist severe frictional wear caused by wood chips and bar oil sludge. Its internal drum bore and oiler drive notch interface seamlessly with your saw's clutch shoes, needle bearing, and oil pump drive wire for immediate, trouble-free operation.
True Genuine OEM Manufacturing vs. Cheap Aftermarket Drums: Chainsaw drive drums spin at over 13,000 RPM while taking the full mechanical load of your engine's clutch. Low-cost aftermarket spur drums frequently suffer from off-center machining, soft metal spur teeth that groove after just a few tanks of fuel, and out-of-spec drum walls that cause clutch slippage or severe engine vibration. Genuine STIHL drive components guarantee exact dynamic balance, precise needle bearing fitment, and commercial-grade durability.
Configuration & Fitment Profile: Factory-designed for 1141 chassis STIHL powerheads configured for .325" pitch cutting setups. Direct replacement for the clutch drive and oil pump systems across the MS 271, MS 271 C-BE, MS 291, and MS 291 C-BE series. Needle bearing sold separately.
