ACEBRI PTO Clutch Fit for John Deere 240 245 260 265 325 335 345 GT242 GT262 GT275 Clutch for John Deere AM119536 AM103035 AM108601 AM115093, for Scotts S2554 Electric pto Clutch, not for GX Series

What It Is

This is an aftermarket electric PTO (power take-off) clutch that engages and disengages the mower blades on your lawn tractor. It’s designed to replace OEM clutches on select John Deere 200-series, 300-series, and GT-series models, as well as the Scotts S2554—but not the GX Series.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify these three things:

• Model list: Fits John Deere 240, 245, 260, 265, 325, 335, 345, GT242, GT262, GT275, and Scotts S2554. Does not fit GX Series (GX200, GX245, etc.).
• OEM cross-reference: Replaces John Deere AM119536, AM103035, AM108601, AM115093. Check your current clutch’s stamped part number.
• Physical measurements: The clutch has a 1″ bore, 3/16″ keyway, and a 4.5″ diameter. Measure your old clutch’s bolt pattern (typically 3-hole on these models) and shaft size to confirm.

Pro tip: If your tractor has a different deck size or was modified, measure the shaft and bolt spacing—don’t rely on model name alone.

Key Things to Know

• Quality vs OEM: It’s a budget aftermarket clutch. Expect shorter lifespan than a genuine John Deere unit (often 2-3 seasons vs 5+), but it works fine for light residential use.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate. You’ll need a puller to remove the old clutch, and a torque wrench (specs: 35-40 ft-lbs on the center bolt). Allow 1-2 hours.
• Common gotcha: The wiring harness may have different connectors than your tractor’s. If so, you’ll need to splice or use butt connectors—not plug-and-play.
• Noise: Some users report a slight whine at engagement; this is normal for aftermarket clutches and doesn’t affect function.

Should You Buy It

If you have a compatible John Deere or Scotts model listed, need a budget-friendly replacement, and are comfortable with basic wiring and mechanical work, this clutch is a solid value at $100. It’s not for heavy commercial use or GX Series tractors, but for a weekend mower it’ll get the job done.
