STIHL Chain Loop - 3686 000 0062

Replace degraded pinch roller grip surfaces on compatible STIHL wood chippers with factory-specified components engineered to restore consistent branch feeding velocity. This replacement chain loop provides the direct mechanical interface required to transmit hydraulic drive force through the infeed rollers without slippage.

Key Features

• Segmented steel link assembly with articulated pins for uniform load distribution across the pinch roller circumference
• Factory-matched tooth pitch and center-to-center spacing to align with original drive sprocket geometry
• Designed to maintain engagement under high-feed friction conditions typical of hardwood processing
• Drop-in replacement configuration requires no machining, welding, or auxiliary hardware

Product Details

• STIHL GW 240 Wood Chipper
• STIHL GW 270 Wood Chipper
• Units configured with standard dual-pinch roller infeed assemblies manufactured after 2017

Confirm machine serial ranges against dealer documentation prior to installation. Align new chain loop links with designated roller entry points to prevent cross-threading or binding. Evaluate adjacent drive chains and roller bearing housings during service intervals to address synchronized wear patterns.
