What It Is

This is an electric PTO (Power Take-Off) clutch that engages and disengages your mower blades from the engine. It’s designed for AYP, Craftsman, Cub Cadet, MTD, and Husqvarna lawn tractors, typically in the GT200, GTH200, GTH220, and GTH225 series, plus PP/PPR models.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify these three things:

• OEM cross-references: This clutch replaces part numbers 174509, 170056, 124648X, 5215-73, 532150283, and 532170056. Match yours against these.
• Physical measurements: The clutch has a 1-inch bore (crankshaft diameter), a 3-5/8-inch pulley diameter, and uses a 2-pin electrical connector. Measure your existing clutch to confirm.
• Deck and model check: It fits many 42- to 54-inch decks on the brands listed, but confirm your tractor’s model number (e.g., GT200, GTH220) from the sticker under the seat or hood. Aftermarket, not OEM—expect slight cosmetic variations but identical function.

Key Things to Know

• Quality concerns: At 4.2 stars from 23 reviews, it’s decent but not top-tier. Some users report shorter lifespan than OEM in heavy-duty use (e.g., thick grass, rough terrain).
• Installation difficulty: Moderate. You’ll need basic tools (socket set, puller) and about 1–2 hours. The wiring harness is plug-and-play, but you must properly gap the air gap (usually 0.010–0.015 inches) using a feeler gauge—skip this and it may slip or fail.
• Common gotchas: The included bolts may be soft; reuse your original hardware if possible. Also, the clutch may arrive with a protective coating on the pulley—wipe it off with brake cleaner before mounting to avoid belt slippage.
• Warranty: Typically 1-year limited. Check seller’s return policy—some require you to test fitment before installing.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you need a budget-friendly replacement for a mid-duty mower (e.g., occasional residential use) and you’re comfortable with basic mechanical work. Skip it if you mow commercially, in heavy conditions, or want OEM durability—spend more on a genuine Cub Cadet or Stens clutch for longer life.
