Aeagle 170056 PTO Clutch for Cub Cadet MTD Husqvarna 140923 532174509 174509 532150283 532170056, for Husqvarna GTH250 GTH200 GTH220 GTH225 GTH2350 AYP PPR Series

What It Is

The Aeagle 170056 PTO (Power Take-Off) clutch is an electric clutch that engages and disengages the mower blades on select lawn tractors. It’s designed for Cub Cadet, MTD, Husqvarna, and AYP models with 42-inch to 54-inch decks, typically in the GTH and PPR series.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your machine’s model number (not just brand). This clutch replaces OEM part numbers 140923, 532174509, 174509, 532150283, and 532170056. It fits Husqvarna GTH250, GTH200, GTH220, GTH225, GTH2350, and AYP PPR series tractors, plus many Cub Cadet and MTD models with a 1-inch shaft and 3-pin electrical connector. Critical checks: Measure your existing clutch’s diameter (this is approx. 4.5 inches), shaft diameter (must be 1 inch), and bolt pattern (three 5/16-inch bolts on a 3-inch circle). Double-check deck size—this clutch works with 42-54 inch decks but not zero-turn or commercial mowers. If your OEM part number matches one listed, it’s a direct swap.

Key Things to Know

• Quality vs. OEM: Aeagle is an aftermarket brand. It’s generally reliable for residential use but may not last as long as a genuine Cub Cadet or Husqvarna clutch under heavy commercial loads.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate. You’ll need basic tools (socket set, torque wrench) and mechanical comfort. The clutch mounts under the engine, accessible after removing the mower deck and belt. Expect 1-2 hours for a first-timer.
• Common gotcha: The air gap between the clutch rotor and armature must be set to 0.010-0.015 inches after installation. Ignoring this can cause slippage or failure. Use a feeler gauge.
• Wiring: Ensure your tractor’s connector matches the 3-pin flat style. If your machine uses a different connector, you’ll need to splice or adapt—check before buying.

Should You Buy It

If you have a compatible Husqvarna, Cub Cadet, or MTD tractor with a worn or failed PTO clutch and need a budget-friendly replacement for residential mowing, this Aeagle unit is a solid choice. It’s well-reviewed for the price, but if you mow commercially or demand maximum longevity, consider spending more on an OEM clutch.
