The Ariens 915177 IKON-X 52 is a zero-turn mower with a 52-inch deck and Kohler KT735 engine. This guide starts with the PTO clutch, then covers the common deck parts to check when planning a repair. Use the full mower model and serial number from the identification tag to select the correct diagram.
Quick Answer: Which PTO Clutch Fits?
Ariens lists 04678300 as the PTO clutch for model 915177 in both serial ranges below. Start with our 04678300 replacement PTO clutch listing and compare its connector, pulley and mounting details with your original assembly.
PTO Clutch by Serial Number
| Ariens 915177 serial range | OEM PTO clutch |
|---|---|
| 000101–015999 | 04678300 |
| 016000 and higher | 04678300 |
The parts catalogs separate these production ranges, but the clutch reference remains the same. Keep your serial number handy for other components and hardware, especially if the mower has received an engine, deck or wiring change.
52-Inch Deck Parts & Drive Belts
The following references appear in both serial-range catalogs. Quantities describe the parts fitted to one mower; check the selected product option for the quantity included in your order.

| Transaxle drive belt | 07200718 | 1 |

Buying a belt? The 07200023 belt drives the mower deck; 07200718 drives the transaxles. Record which belt you need before ordering. Contact us about belt availability with the OEM number, model and serial number.
Choose the Correct Replacement
A 52-inch cutting width alone does not identify every compatible part. This guide covers model 915177 with its original deck arrangement. Other IKON models and replacement decks should be checked against their own diagrams.
For blades, use the listed 04771200 reference and confirm the selected pack size. For spindle assemblies, the current 51537200 service reference traces back to 51528000 in the mower's parts catalog. Compare the assembly and included pulley with the product photos before ordering. The deck idler reference similarly changes from 07300039 to 07350100. These arrows show original numbers followed by their current OEM service replacements.
When replacing the clutch, retain the model and serial details alongside any readable number on the old unit. A clear photo of the connector and anti-rotation mounting arrangement helps us check a replacement before it ships.
