Looking for a flexible drive shaft, rod or drive shaft for a Scheppach or Woodster brush cutter? In this category, you will find a selection of spare parts for repairing petrol brush cutters and Scheppach and Woodster 4-in-1 multifunction garden tools.

These components are an essential part of the machine’s drive system. They transmit the movement of the engine to the working tool, such as the cutting head, brush cutter blade or another attachment fitted to a multifunction garden tool.

This category includes flexible drive shafts, inner drive shafts, aluminium tubes and shafts, rods with drive shafts, extension shafts and end fittings for various Scheppach and Woodster models.

Flexible drive shafts for Scheppach and Woodster brush cutters

The flexible drive shaft transmits the rotation of the engine to the cutting tool while providing flexibility between the different parts of the machine.

This type of component is used on selected multifunction garden tools and brush cutters. Over time, vibrations, repeated strain or insufficient lubrication can cause wear.

A worn or damaged flexible drive shaft can cause various problems:

• the cutting tool no longer rotates;
• irregular rotation;
• abnormal mechanical noises;
• the drive slips;
• excessive machine vibrations;
• the engine runs but the movement is no longer transmitted to the attachment.

This category includes flexible drive shaft reference 3904805006 for various Scheppach and Woodster 4-in-1 garden tools and brush cutters.

Drive shafts for 4-in-1 garden tools

The drive shaft is located inside the machine tube or shaft. It directly transmits the rotational movement between the engine and the working attachment.

This category includes drive shaft reference 3904801045 for various Scheppach and Woodster 4-in-1 garden tools and brush cutters.

A faulty drive shaft can cause:

• no rotation of the attachment;
• loss of drive;
• jerking during operation;
• abnormal vibrations;
• metallic noises;
• premature wear of the coupling components.

If the shaft is broken, or depending on the machine model, it may be necessary to replace only the inner drive shaft or the complete assembly including the tube and drive shaft.

Rods with drive shafts for brush cutters

You will also find complete rods with drive shafts for Scheppach and Woodster brush cutters and 4-in-1 garden tools.

This category includes lower rod reference 3904805007 with drive shaft, designed for various 32.6 cc and 51.7 cc garden tools.

Replacing the complete assembly may be necessary when several components are damaged, such as a bent tube, broken inner shaft, worn end fitting or damaged drive system.

Before ordering, it is important to check whether your machine requires only the inner drive shaft or a complete rod with drive shaft.

Aluminium tubes and shafts for brush cutters

The aluminium tube forms the rigid outer section that guides and protects the drive shaft. Depending on the model, its length and configuration may vary.

This category includes:

• aluminium shaft reference 5910705002, diameter 26 x 735 mm;
• aluminium shaft reference 3904801032, diameter 26 x 760 mm, fitted with drive shaft 3904801045;
• aluminium shaft reference 5910705001, diameter 26 x 760 mm;
• various tubes and shafts depending on the machine model.

Even when two tubes have the same diameter, their length, inner drive shaft or coupling system may be different. It is therefore essential to check the exact part reference before ordering.

Aluminium shafts for Scheppach and Woodster garden tools

This category also includes aluminium shafts for Scheppach and Woodster brush cutters and 4-in-1 garden tools.

You can find aluminium shaft reference 3904801014, supplied without the inner drive shaft, as well as other complete shaft assemblies depending on the machine.

An aluminium shaft may need to be replaced after:

• a major impact;
• the machine has been dropped;
• deformation of the tube;
• wear around the connections;
• misalignment of the drive system.

Before purchasing, carefully check whether the part is supplied on its own or with the inner drive shaft.

Extension shafts for 4-in-1 multifunction garden tools

4-in-1 garden tools can use an extension shaft to increase the reach of selected attachments, particularly for pruning or hedge trimming at height.

This category includes the 80 cm extension shaft reference 7910700710 for various Scheppach and Woodster 4-in-1 garden tools and brush cutters.

It may also fit the Parkside PBK4B3 manufactured by Scheppach only. Versions produced by another manufacturer, particularly Grizzly, may not be compatible.

End fittings for brush cutters and 4-in-1 garden tools

You will also find end fittings for Scheppach and Woodster 4-in-1 garden tools and brush cutters.

Depending on the machine version, some end fittings are equipped with:

• 2 fixing screws for the protective guard;
• 4 fixing screws for the protective guard.

This difference is important when choosing the correct part. A visually similar end fitting may be incompatible if the number or position of the fixing points does not match your machine.

Drive system parts for 32.6 cc and 51.7 cc garden tools

This category includes rods, drive shafts and flexible shafts for various Scheppach and Woodster garden tools, particularly machines equipped with 32.6 cc and 51.7 cc engines.

Please note that engine capacity alone is not enough to determine the compatibility of a drive system part. Two machines with the same engine capacity may use different tubes, shafts or flexible drive components.

It is therefore essential to check the part reference and the list of compatible machines shown on each product page.

How can you tell if a drive shaft or flexible shaft is faulty?

A drive system fault can sometimes be mistaken for an engine or cutting attachment problem. If the engine runs normally but the attachment no longer rotates correctly, several components should be checked:

• the condition of the drive shaft;
• the condition of the flexible shaft;
• the ends and splines;
• the coupling components;
• the aluminium tube;
• the connectors;
• the gearbox or attachment fitted to the end of the machine.

A worn, broken or rounded shaft end can prevent the correct transmission of movement.

How to choose the correct rod or drive shaft

Before ordering a flexible shaft, rod or drive shaft for a brush cutter or 4-in-1 garden tool, we recommend checking:

• the exact model of the machine;
• the brand: Scheppach or Woodster;
• the reference number of the original part;
• the length of the tube or rod;
• the diameter of the tube;
• the shape of the drive shaft ends;
• whether or not the inner drive shaft is included;
• the machine rating plate;
• the serial number;
• the month and year of manufacture, when this information is required.

Depending on the production period, the same machine may have been fitted with different drive systems. Always check the list of compatible machines shown on each product page before ordering.
