ECCPP Electric PTO CLUTCH Kits 070-1000-00 for Warner: 5218-114, 5218-220, 5218-83; for Bad Boy: 070-1000-00; for Stens: 255-775; for XTREME: X0244, X0244-K

What It Is

This is an aftermarket electric PTO (Power Take-Off) clutch kit that engages and disengages the mower blades on zero-turn mowers and lawn tractors. It’s designed for Bad Boy, Warner, Stens, and XTREME models that use a 12V electric clutch with a 1-inch shaft and 3/16-inch keyway.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower uses a 1-inch diameter crankshaft with a 3/16-inch keyway. This clutch replaces OEM numbers Warner 5218-114, 5218-220, 5218-83, Bad Boy 070-1000-00, Stens 255-775, and XTREME X0244 / X0244-K. It fits many Bad Boy zero-turn models (e.g., Outlaw, ZT, MZ series) and other brands using those Warner cores. Measure your existing clutch’s overall diameter (approx. 4.5 inches) and bolt pattern (3-bolt, 3.25-inch center-to-center) to verify. Check your deck size isn’t the only spec—clutch fit depends on engine shaft and bolt pattern, not deck width.

Key Things to Know

• Quality is decent for the price – Users report it works well out of the box, but some note shorter lifespan than OEM Warner clutches under heavy commercial use.
• Installation is moderate – You’ll need basic tools (wrenches, socket set) and a torque wrench to tighten the center bolt to spec (typically 45-55 ft-lbs). Disconnect the battery first.
• Common gotcha – The included wiring harness may have slightly different connector shapes. You may need to splice or use butt connectors if it doesn’t match your mower’s plug.
• Check the air gap – After install, verify the clutch plate gap (0.010-0.015 inches) with a feeler gauge. Adjust if needed to prevent slipping or engagement noise.

Should You Buy It

If you need a budget-friendly replacement for a residential or light-commercial Bad Boy or compatible mower and are comfortable with basic wiring and mechanical work, this is a solid value. For heavy daily commercial use, consider spending more on an OEM Warner unit for longer reliability.
