Makita 226831-1 Gear LXMU02 String Trimmer Part

Product Description

The MAKITA 226831-1 is a replacement gear component designed for use in compatible Makita cordless string trimmer assemblies. This internal gear transfers rotational force from the motor to the cutting head, allowing the trimmer to operate at the designed output speed. It is a direct OEM-style part intended for technicians and service professionals performing drivetrain repairs on Makita outdoor power equipment. Proper gear condition is critical to maintaining consistent head speed and preventing premature wear on adjacent components in the gearhead assembly.

This gear is referenced for use with the Makita LXMU02 cordless string trimmer platform. It is suited for repair shops, authorized service centers, and experienced technicians performing component-level repairs on Makita lawn and garden equipment. Installation is typically required when the existing gear shows signs of stripping, cracking, or irregular wear that affects trimmer head performance.
