Clutch PTO Blade Switch 4174684 500016 fits Dixie Chopper Delta Hustler Lawn Mowers,8 Terminals 10 AMP,Fits for Husqvarna Craftsman Wright Stander and Bobcat Jacobsen Hustler Super Most Units

What It Is

This is an 8-terminal, 10-amp PTO clutch blade switch (OEM cross #4174684 / 500016) that engages and disengages the mower deck’s electric clutch. It’s designed for zero-turn mowers and lawn tractors, including Dixie Chopper, Delta, Hustler, Husqvarna, Craftsman, Wright Stander, Bobcat, and Jacobsen models.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Check your OEM part number: This switch replaces 4174684 and 500016. Verify your mower’s original switch number before buying.
• Terminal count: It has 8 terminals. Count the terminals on your existing switch—if it’s 6 or 9, this won’t work.
• Amperage rating: Rated for 10 amps. Do not use on circuits exceeding 10A.
• Physical size: Measure the mounting hole spacing and switch body dimensions (approx. 1.5” x 1.5”) to ensure it fits your control panel.
• Brand fit: Commonly fits Husqvarna, Craftsman, Wright Stander, Bobcat, Jacobsen, and Hustler Super Most units, but always cross-reference your model number with the seller’s list.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Aftermarket part, not OEM. At $14.92, it’s a budget option—expect basic build quality but functional for standard use.
• Installation difficulty: Easy if you’re comfortable with basic wiring. Disconnect battery, remove old switch, note wire positions (take a photo), and plug in new one.
• Common gotcha: Some mowers use different switch orientations (push-on vs. pull-off). Test the new switch’s action before fully mounting.
• Durability: May wear faster than OEM in heavy commercial use. Fine for residential or light commercial.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you need a low-cost replacement for a failed PTO switch on a Dixie Chopper, Hustler, Husqvarna, or similar mower, and you’ve confirmed the 8-terminal, 10A spec matches your original. It’s a solid value for DIY repairs, but skip it if you require heavy-duty commercial reliability or if your switch has different terminal count or amperage.
