What It Is

This is an aftermarket electric PTO (power take-off) clutch that engages and disengages the mower deck blades via an electromagnetic coil. It’s designed for replacement on zero-turn and riding mowers from Husqvarna, Simplicity, Ferris, Snapper, Poulan, AYP, and Bad Boy.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your mower’s original PTO clutch part number. This unit replaces Warner 5218-114, 5218-220, 5218-83, 5218-134; Stens 255-775, 255-827; and Bad Boy 070-1000-00. It also cross-references with Snapper/Ferris 5100084. Measure the clutch diameter (typically 4.5 inches) and shaft bore size (usually 1 inch or 20mm). Check the electrical connector type—this uses a standard 2-pin flat or round plug; if your harness has a different connector, you may need to splice. Confirm your deck size and pulley belt routing, as incorrect pulley height or groove width can cause belt misalignment.

Key Things to Know

• Quality vs OEM: This is a budget-friendly aftermarket alternative. Some users report shorter lifespan than OEM Warner or Stens units, especially in heavy commercial use.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate. Requires removing the mower deck, disconnecting the battery, and often a puller to remove the old clutch from the crankshaft. Torque the center bolt to 35-45 ft-lbs (check your engine manual).
• Common gotchas: The air gap between the rotor and armature must be set to 0.012–0.020 inches using feeler gauges. If the clutch chatters or fails to engage, adjust the gap. Also, ensure the wiring is not pinched during reassembly.
• Warranty: Typically 1-year limited; keep your receipt and packaging for returns.

Should You Buy It

If you need a quick, affordable fix for a residential or light commercial mower, this clutch is a solid value. Avoid it for daily-use commercial fleets—spend more on a Warner or Stens OEM unit for better durability. For DIY homeowners with a Husqvarna or Simplicity, this is a cost-effective drop-in replacement.
