ECCPP Electric PTO Clutch Kits 587241601 Compatible for Husqvarna for Poulan: 587241601; for Ogura: 53594500, GT1A-EH07; for Xtreme: X0709

What It Is

This is an aftermarket electric PTO clutch that engages and disengages the mower blades via a belt-driven pulley system. It’s designed for zero-turn and riding mowers from Husqvarna, Poulan, and other brands using the same mounting pattern and electrical connection.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower’s OEM part number. This clutch replaces Husqvarna/Poulan 587241601, Ogura 53594500 and GT1A-EH07, and Xtreme X0709. Check your current clutch’s stamped number—if it matches one of these, it’s likely compatible. Measure the pulley diameter (should be 4.5 inches) and the mounting bolt pattern (three bolts on a 2.5-inch circle). Also verify your mower’s deck size and engine model—this clutch fits most 42- to 54-inch decks with a 1-inch shaft and 12V electrical system. It does not fit older mechanical PTO systems.

Key Things to Know

• Quality vs OEM: Aftermarket unit; some users report shorter lifespan than OEM Ogura clutches, but it’s a fraction of the cost.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate. Requires removing the deck, belt, and old clutch. You’ll need a puller tool and a torque wrench (specs: 35-45 ft-lbs for center bolt). Read the included instructions carefully—wiring colors may differ from original.
• Common gotchas: The air gap between the clutch and armature must be set to 0.010-0.015 inches using a feeler gauge, or the clutch may slip or fail to engage. Also check that the replacement pulley aligns with your belt path—minor shimming may be needed.
• Electrical check: Before installing, test the clutch with 12V direct from the battery—it should pull in firmly. If not, return it.

Should You Buy It

If your OEM clutch failed and you’re on a budget, this is a solid stopgap for a season or two. It’s not built as robustly as an Ogura OEM unit, but for homeowners or light commercial use, it’ll get your blades spinning again without breaking the bank. If you mow daily for a living, spend the extra for an OEM replacement.
