Clutch PTO Switch 8 Terminals for Exmark Next for Lazer Z for Toro for Z Master G3 Serial Compatible with 116-0124, 1160124, 430-210, K3011-62301, K301162301, 109-7666, 109-7673, 5 AMP, Yellow Knob

What It Is

This is a 5-amp, 8-terminal PTO (power take-off) switch with a yellow knob, designed to engage and disengage the mower deck’s blades on zero-turn mowers. It’s a direct replacement for worn or failed switches on Exmark Lazer Z, Toro Z Master G3, and select commercial mowers.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify these specifics:

• Terminal count: Must be an 8-terminal switch. Count the terminals on your old switch—if it has 6 or 4, this won’t work.
• OEM cross-reference: Confirmed fit for Toro/Exmark OEM part numbers 116-0124, 1160124, 430-210, K3011-62301, K301162301, 109-7666, and 109-7673. Check your mower’s manual or old switch for one of these numbers.
• Brand/model: Fits Exmark Lazer Z (select years with 8-terminal PTO switches) and Toro Z Master G3 (models with the yellow knob design). Not universal across all Z Master or Lazer Z generations—older models may use a 6-terminal switch.
• Deck size: No deck size restriction, but switch compatibility is model-year dependent. For Toro Z Master, serial numbers after 2006 typically use this switch.
• Amperage: Rated at 5 amps. Do not use on machines requiring a higher-rated switch (e.g., 10A or 15A) without verifying wiring and circuit protection.

Key Things to Know

• Installation difficulty: Easy for DIYers—remove the old switch (pry off knob, unscrew nut), disconnect wire harness, and reverse. No special tools needed.
• Quality note: Aftermarket part, not OEM. Reviewers report it works reliably, but some note the plastic housing feels slightly less durable than OEM. Fine for residential or light commercial use.
• Common gotcha: The knob’s yellow color may fade in direct sunlight over time. Function is unaffected.
• Testing tip: Before installing, use a multimeter to confirm continuity in both ON and OFF positions. A faulty new switch can cause intermittent blade engagement.

Should You Buy It

If your Exmark Lazer Z or Toro Z Master G3 has a failing 8-terminal PTO switch (intermittent blade engagement, no response when pulled), this is a solid, budget-friendly fix. It’s not OEM, but the 4.6-star rating and low price make it a practical choice for DIY replacement. Avoid it if you need a 6-terminal switch or require commercial-grade durability (e.g., daily use in harsh conditions).
