The Honda 23281-V42-A20 Driven Sprocket (18T) is a genuine OEM component designed for the FC600 tiller. As a direct Honda OEM part, it is manufactured to the same specification as the original, ensuring the drive system operates exactly as Honda intended. Confirm your tiller's serial number against the fitment table before ordering, as Honda supersedes parts at production breaks and more than one sprocket variant may apply to the FC600 line.
Key Features
- Genuine Honda OEM — sourced directly from Honda, this sprocket carries the correct 18-tooth count and profile to mesh properly with the drive chain in the FC600 tiller's transmission.
- Exact Tooth Count — the 18T specification is the defining variant for this part; verify that your tiller requires an 18-tooth driven sprocket before purchasing.
- Serial Number Matters — Honda updates parts at specific production breaks, so cross-reference your FC600's serial number with the fitment table to confirm this is the correct sprocket for your unit.
- Drive Efficiency — a worn or damaged driven sprocket causes chain skip, uneven power transfer to the tines, and accelerated chain wear; replacing it restores smooth, consistent drive engagement.
The driven sprocket is a core component of the FC600 tiller's chain-driven transmission, transferring rotational power from the drive chain to the tine shaft. It works in a matched pair with the drive chain and drive sprocket — if any one of the three is worn, the whole assembly loses efficiency and chain life drops sharply. When the sprocket teeth wear to a hooked or thinned profile, the chain begins to skip under load, reducing tilling depth consistency and putting additional stress on the drivetrain. Replacing the driven sprocket with the correct Honda OEM part restores the original drive ratio and protects the surrounding components from accelerated wear.
