Many Cub Cadet PTO clutch searches start with a part number instead of a mower model. You may have a stamped number like 917-05209, 717-04552A, Warner 5219-98, 01008434, or Stens 255-668X and need to know which replacement path it belongs to.
This guide routes common Cub Cadet, MTD, Warner, Ogura, Stens, Xtreme, Oregon, Rotary, and Prime Line numbers to the correct aftermarket replacement PTO clutch path. Use the searched number as your starting point, then confirm the lead product page specs before ordering.

Important fitment note: This cross-reference index is a routing guide, not a universal interchange list. Part numbers are strong confirmation points, but final fitment can still depend on model year, serial number, deck size, engine package, and machine configuration. Before ordering, open the lead product page and compare the listed application notes and product details to your mower.
How to Use 917 and 717 Cub Cadet PTO Clutch Numbers
Many Cub Cadet and MTD PTO clutch numbers appear in both 917 and 717 formats. In many cases, the matching base number routes to the same replacement path. For example, 917-05209 and 717-05209 both route to the 917-05209 PTO clutch replacement path.
Suffixes still matter. A number ending in A, B, or another revision letter should be checked carefully against the lead product page. Do not drop the suffix unless the product page specifically lists both versions.
Common Number Routing Examples
917-05209 / 717-05209
917-05209 routes to the 917-05209 replacement path. This is a common Cub Cadet / MTD clutch family for select XT1, XT2, RZT-L, RZT-S, ZT1, and ZT2 applications. It also cross-references Warner 5219-177 and several aftermarket numbers.
917-04552A / 717-04552A
917-04552A routes to the 917-04552A replacement path. This family is commonly associated with select RZT 50, RZT 54, LTX1050, and related MTD-built applications using the Warner 5219-98 clutch path.
917-1709 / 717-1709
917-1709 routes to the 917-1709 replacement path. This path appears in searches for RZT 42, RZT 50, Tank, Z-Force, and select crossover applications. Confirm the mower configuration before treating it as a replacement for another RZT clutch family.
01008434 / 759-05064
01008434 routes to the 759-05064 / 01008434 replacement path. This is a common Cub Cadet / MTD commercial and crossover path for select Z-Force, Enforcer, Tank M50, and related applications. Keep this family separate from heavier 1-1/8" commercial paths such as 917-04967, TCA19812, and 02002160P.
01008544P / 917-04127 / 717-04127
01008544P routes to the 01008544P replacement path. This family also includes 01008544, 917-04127, 717-04127, 01009268P, and 01009268 on supported applications.
917-04967 / 717-04967
917-04967 routes to the 917-04967 replacement path. This is a heavier Cub Cadet commercial path used on select Tank LZ, Tank SZ, and Pro Z applications. It also cross-references Warner 5218-288, Xtreme X0400, Xtreme X0275, and Stens 255-622X.
TCA19812 / 917-05184 / 717-05184
TCA19812 routes to the TCA19812 replacement path. This commercial family can appear in Cub Cadet Pro Z, Pro X, Tank, and some multi-brand commercial mower searches. Because this number also appears outside Cub Cadet applications, confirm the mower platform before ordering.
What If Your Number Is Warner, Ogura, Stens, Xtreme or Oregon?
If your clutch is marked with a Warner, Ogura, Stens, Xtreme, Oregon, Rotary, Sunbelt, Prime Line, or 8TEN number, use it as a cross-reference into the lead replacement path. For example, Warner 5219-98 routes to the 917-04552A PTO clutch replacement path, while Warner 5219-177 routes to the 917-05209 PTO clutch replacement path.
Aftermarket numbers can consolidate multiple older clutch versions into one replacement family. That can be helpful, but it also means you should still verify the product page details before ordering.
If the Clutch Number Is Missing or Unreadable
If the original clutch number is missing, damaged, painted over, or unreadable, start with the mower model number, serial number, deck size, engine package, and machine configuration. Those details help narrow the correct clutch path before you compare the lead product page.
- RZT and residential zero-turn models: compare deck size, model year, and series name first.
- Tank, Pro Z, Z-Force and Enforcer models: compare commercial series, engine package, deck size, and serial range.
- XT1, XT2, LTX and GT tractors: compare lawn tractor series, deck size, and original clutch family.
- Older garden tractors and IH-era machines: compare tractor model, crankshaft size, pulley family, and legacy IH number when available.
If your mower blades will not engage and you are not sure the clutch is actually the failed part, start with the PTO clutch won’t engage troubleshooting guide before replacing parts.
