0558003542 - ESAB MigMaster 260 Main Drive Gear Replacement

Get Your MigMaster 260 Feeding Like New

Is your ESAB MigMaster 260 sputtering, slipping, or refusing to feed wire smoothly? The problem might not be your settings or your liner—it could be a stripped or worn-out main drive gear. The ESAB 0558003542 Main Gear Drive is the direct replacement part you need to fix the heart of your wire feeder and get back to laying down smooth beads.

We know how frustrating it is when your equipment fights you. You pull the trigger, the motor hums, but the wire hesitates. This often happens when the teeth on the main drive gear wear down after years of hard work. This replacement gear is built tough to handle the daily grind of the shop. It swaps out your old, worn gear to restore that solid, consistent grip on the wire that you need for professional results. No more bird-nesting caused by inconsistent feeding or arc stuttering halfway through a pass.

This specific gear is designed for the "Newer" style MigMaster 260 machines. If you aren't sure if yours falls into that category, check your manual or pop open the side panel to take a look. Don't let a small mechanical part hold up your production schedule. Swap in a fresh main gear and restore the reliability of your trusty ESAB welder.
