Overview
The Husqvarna 575261201 is the genuine upper drive shaft kit (silver) for Husqvarna 125LD, 128LD and 128CD string trimmers and the 128PS pole saw. The upper shaft carries the flexible drive that turns the cutting head, so a bent tube, worn shaft or failed bearing shows up as vibration, noise or a head that won't spin. This kit replaces the whole upper shaft section with the bearing hardware already included.

How do I know my upper shaft needs replacing?
A bent shaft tube, a worn or broken inner shaft, or a noisy, rough bearing are the usual signs. Excess vibration or a cutting head that won't turn while the engine revs points to the drive shaft.
Where is the model number on my trimmer?
