ACEBRI PTO Clutch for EXMARK for Toro: 117-7468 104-3334 for Toro TimeCutte SS4235 Z4200 Z4235 Z4202 Clutch for Warner: 5217-35, 5217-6, 5217-7, 5217-9 Clutch Lawn Mower Tractor Parts

What It Is

This is an aftermarket PTO (Power Take-Off) clutch that engages and disengages the mower blades on select Toro and Exmark zero-turn mowers. It’s designed to replace failed OEM clutches on models like the Toro TimeCutter SS4235, Z4200, Z4235, and Z4202, as well as Warner clutch models 5217-35, 5217-6, 5217-7, and 5217-9.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify these three things:

1. Model number: This clutch fits Toro TimeCutter SS4235, Z4200, Z4235, Z4202, and Exmark models using OEM part 117-7468 or 104-3334. It also replaces Warner 5217-35/6/7/9. Check your mower’s model plate—don’t rely on brand alone.
2. Deck size: Works with 42” to 50” decks on these models. Measure your PTO shaft diameter (typically 1” or 1-1/8”) and bolt pattern (usually 4-bolt, 3” center-to-center). This clutch uses a 1” shaft and 4-bolt pattern.
3. Electrical connector: Verify your mower’s connector type—this clutch uses a standard 2-pin flat connector. If your mower has a different plug, you’ll need to splice or adapt.

Key Things to Know

• Quality concerns: With a 3.7 rating (7 reviews), some users report shorter lifespan than OEM. Expect 1-2 seasons under heavy use versus 3-4 from a genuine Toro/Exmark clutch.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate. Requires basic tools (socket set, torque wrench) and ability to remove the deck. You’ll need to gap the clutch to 0.010-0.015” using a feeler gauge—skipping this step causes premature wear.
• Common gotcha: The included hardware may not match your mower’s bolts. Keep your original mounting bolts and washers if possible. Also, this clutch runs slightly louder than OEM—expect a mild whine during engagement.
• Warranty: Most sellers offer a 1-year limited warranty, but verify before purchase. No OEM support.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you need a budget replacement for a weekend-use mower and don’t mind a potential shorter lifespan. Skip it for commercial or heavy-duty use—spend the extra $50–$80 on a genuine Toro/Exmark clutch for reliability. Check your model and shaft size carefully; returns on electrical parts are often restricted.
