Stihl hedge trimmer HS81R or is it?

[Dean richards]

They lower section of the gear housing is corroded so much that holes are now visible, it's due to the gear box hitting the ground as you put the trimmer down.
I've bought a gearbox section but it's the wrong size. Can anyone tell me what the exact model it is from the photo? As the hs81r part doesn't fit.

Thankyou

Is it just the gear box cover that's warn through

Consider cleaning well roughen surface and repair with Isopon P40 or equivalent (chopped fibreglass)

Yes the gear box cover is warn through and corroded I cant use it as it is as the cog components are visible. A new cover is expensive so I ordered one that came from China but it doesn't fit so I've wasted my time.

L&S are good to deal with. My son gets a lot of genuine Stihl and Husky parts from them. Fast delivery.
