What It Is

This electric PTO (power take-off) clutch engages and disengages the mower blades on lawn tractors and zero-turn mowers. It’s designed for AYP, Craftsman, Cub Cadet, MTD, and Husqvarna models with 42–54-inch decks, replacing OEM part numbers 140923, 170056, 174509, 532140923, 532150283, 532170056, 532174509, and 5215-73.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify three things:

• Model series: Fits GT200, GTH200, GTH220, GTH225, and PP22H50K/PP22H50KA tractors. Also fits many Craftsman LT1000/2000, MTD Yard Machines, and Husqvarna GTH/GT series.
• OEM cross-reference: Matches 140923, 170056, 174509, 532140923, 532150283, 532170056, 532174509, 5215-73.
• Physical check: Measure your old clutch’s shaft diameter (typically 1-inch, 20-spline) and bolt pattern (3 bolts on a 3-inch circle). If yours doesn’t match, it won’t fit. Also confirm your deck uses a single-belt PTO (two-belt systems need a different clutch).

Key Things to Know

• Quality variance: Aftermarket clutches at this price sometimes use lighter-duty bearings or thinner friction plates. Expect shorter life than OEM (maybe 2–3 seasons vs. 5+).
• Installation difficulty: Moderate. You’ll need a puller to remove the old clutch from the crankshaft, and a torque wrench for the center bolt (typically 40–50 ft-lbs). No special electrical skills required—just unplug the old harness, plug in the new one.
• Common gotchas: The air gap (0.010–0.020 inch) may need adjustment after install. Also, if your mower has a keyed shaft vs. splined, this clutch won’t work—check before buying.
• Wiring: Most are 12V DC with a two-pin connector. Verify your mower’s connector matches; some older models use a single-wire or different pin shape.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you need a budget-friendly replacement for a mid-size lawn tractor (42–54-inch deck) and you’re comfortable with basic mechanical work. Skip it if you mow commercially, want OEM reliability, or have a two-belt PTO system—spend more for a heavier-duty unit or stick with OEM. At $69.99, it’s a decent value for light residential use, but don’t expect 10-year durability.
