Genuine Makita 140451-6 — Under Cover Complete (gearbox / seal cover)
- What it is: The original Makita under-cover (gearbox / oil‑seal cover) designated 140451-6. It’s the molded cover that protects the small gearbox/seal area on several Makita cordless grass-shear / hedge‑trimmer assemblies, restoring the tool’s protection against dust and debris.
- Key details: Replacement part number 140451-6 (sold as the complete under‑cover). Designed to drop into the existing mounting points and retain the original screws/pins — no trimming or modification required when matched to a compatible model.
- Example fitment: commonly used on Makita grass‑shear / hedge‑trimmer models in the XMU/LXMU and related series — examples reported in parts diagrams include XMU02 / LXMU02 and related BUM166, BUM168, DUM168, DUM604, UM164D and UH200D style models. (Check the model designation on your tool to confirm fit.)
- Why buy it: If the gearbox cover on your Makita has cracked, lost its seal, or is letting debris into moving parts, this genuine Makita cover restores the original protection and fit so the mechanism runs clean and reliably again.
Note: This description is based on the Makita part number 140451-6 as listed in Makita parts breakdowns for the XMU/LXMU family.
