Makita 227496-2 — Straight bevel gear (14 teeth). Genuine Makita replacement bevel gear manufactured to the same specification used in Makita chain saw and pole-saw gear trains. It’s a machined metal 14-tooth straight bevel that engages the sprocket/tensioner assembly and is sold individually so you can replace a worn or stripped gear without disturbing the rest of the drive assembly.
Typical fit examples: UC3020A, UC3520A, UC4020A, UC4030A, UC4041A and DUC307 / BUC300 / EA3600F electric and cordless chainsaw models — check your parts diagram, but these are the common Makita models that use this 227496-2 gear.
Why buy this part: it restores smooth, accurate chain tensioning and sprocket engagement so the bar and chain run true again. Compact and straightforward to install in the gear case, it’s a standard item among Makita power tool parts for owners repairing a single machine.
