Xtreme Outdoor Power Equipment X0314 PTO Clutch Compatible with/Replacement for Exmark Lazer Z, Kawasaki, Serial No. 260,000-369,999 and Lazer Z, Liquid-Cooled, Serial No. 260,000-369,999 103-0281

What It Is

The Xtreme X0314 is an aftermarket PTO (Power Take-Off) clutch that engages and disengages the mower blades on your zero-turn mower. It is designed as a direct replacement for Exmark Lazer Z mowers (air-cooled and liquid-cooled) with serial numbers between 260,000 and 369,999, replacing OEM part 103-0281.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify these three things:

• Serial number range: Only fits Exmark Lazer Z and Lazer Z Liquid-Cooled models with serial numbers 260,000–369,999. Check your mower’s serial plate.
• OEM cross-reference: Confirmed replacement for Exmark part 103-0281 and Kawasaki engine applications on those serial ranges.
• Physical dimensions: The X0314 has a 1-inch bore, 3-bolt hole pattern, and 4.5-inch diameter. Measure your old clutch’s shaft diameter and bolt spacing to confirm match.
• Deck size: Works across all deck sizes on these serial-range Lazer Z models, but the clutch itself is not deck-specific.

Not compatible with Lazer Z models outside the 260k–369k serial range, or with other Exmark series like Lazer Z X-Series or Lazer Z HP.

Key Things to Know

• Build quality: Aftermarket unit with solid construction, but not OEM. Expect similar durability to OEM for residential/commercial light use, but may not match OEM longevity under heavy daily commercial duty.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate. Requires basic mechanical skills, a puller tool, and torque wrench. Doable in about 1–2 hours if you’re comfortable with electrical connections and belt removal.
• Common gotcha: The clutch gap (air gap between rotor and armature) must be set to 0.010–0.020 inches after installation—skipping this can cause slipping or failure.
• Wiring: Direct plug-and-play with the factory harness on these serial-range Exmarks. No splicing needed if your connector matches.

Should You Buy It

If you own an Exmark Lazer Z in the specified serial number range and want a cost-effective replacement (roughly half the price of OEM) without sacrificing basic reliability, this clutch is a solid choice. It’s best for homeowners or light commercial users; if you’re running a fleet under heavy daily use, consider OEM for longer warranty and proven durability in high-cycle conditions.
