ECCPP Electric PTO Clutch Assembly AM126100 fit for AM126100 for John Deere LX255 LX289 LX266 LX277 LX279 LX280 LX288 LT190 GT225 GT235 GT235E GT245

What It Is

The ECCPP Electric PTO Clutch Assembly (AM126100) engages and disengages the mower deck blades via an electromagnetic coil. It’s designed as a direct replacement for John Deere lawn and garden tractors with 42-inch to 54-inch decks, including LX, LT, and GT series models.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your tractor’s model and serial number. This clutch fits John Deere LX255, LX289, LX266, LX277, LX279, LX280, LX288, LT190, GT225, GT235, GT235E, and GT245. It replaces OEM part AM126100 and cross-references AM126101, AM126102, and AM126103. Measure your existing clutch: the shaft diameter is 1 inch, bolt pattern is 3.5 inches, and overall height is about 2.5 inches. Check that your PTO wiring harness has a two-pin connector—this clutch uses a flat blade connector. Deck size doesn’t directly affect fit, but larger decks (54-inch) may require more electrical current; verify your battery and charging system are in good shape.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: ECCPP is an aftermarket brand. Most buyers report it matches OEM specs, but some note the coil resistance can vary slightly (expect 3.0–3.5 ohms). Test with a multimeter before installation.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate. You’ll need basic hand tools (socket set, Torx bits) and a puller to remove the old clutch from the crankshaft. Expect 1–2 hours.
• Common gotcha: The air gap between the clutch rotor and armature plate must be 0.010–0.015 inches. If too tight, the clutch may drag; too loose, it won’t engage. Use feeler gauges.
• Warranty: ECCPP offers a 12-month warranty. Keep your receipt and original packaging for returns.

Should You Buy It

If you need a reliable, budget-friendly replacement for a worn OEM AM126100 clutch on a compatible John Deere tractor, this is a solid choice. It’s not a premium brand, but it’s well-reviewed and significantly cheaper than OEM. Skip it if you need exact OEM fitment for a commercial mower or demand a brand-name warranty.
