Replacing Your PTO
-
How do I find the original part number on my mower PTO?
The original mower PTO part number is usually found in your owner’s manual or by contacting the manufacturer’s dealer closest to you for mower model and serial number. If the product is Warner Electric, it will have a Warner Electric part number on a label located on back of the PTO itself, either laser etched onto the clutch housing or possibly a printed label affixed to the housing.
-
Is it really necessary to buy the factory original part?
Warner Electric replacement PTO clutches are manufactured right here in the USA. Each PTO clutch is built according to the exact specifications required by the mower manufacturer, so you are getting the identical part that originally came with your mower. Third-party PTO providers often claim they provide superior quality to the original equipment, but these advertised advantages will not provide longer product life or enhanced features that justify replacing the original OEM part.
-
What is the best way to find my replacement parts on the Warner PTO Direct website?
The search feature can be used to filter the Warner Electric products down to the exact part number.Use either the Warner Electric part number or the OEM designated number.
Once you find the potential Warner Electric replacement PTO clutch, the product images, videos, technical specifications, and installation videos will help you confirm the correct part number.
-
My original PTO clutch was not manufactured by Warner Electric, can you still provide a replacement?
The technical experts at Warner Electric can often find alternative solutions in situations where we did not make the original clutch. This may require you to make application modifications to create required mounting requirements.You can contact our technical support team by email at [email protected].

Do I need to use the dash symbol when searching by part numbers?
