Quick Answer
The classic John Deere 240 and 245 lawn and garden tractors use more than one PTO clutch path. The main confirmed factory-style path is AM119536 with a 1-1/8 inch crankshaft bore. Some 240 configurations and repowered machines may use AM130328 with a 1 inch crankshaft bore. Do not order by model number alone. Match the original clutch number and confirm crankshaft bore before ordering.

Important PTO Fitment Note
The classic John Deere 240 can be found with either a 1-1/8 inch or 1 inch PTO clutch bore depending on production path or later engine replacement. The most reliable check is to remove or inspect the original clutch, confirm the stamped part number, and measure the crankshaft diameter. Do not order by appearance alone.
John Deere 240 Mower Deck Parts Table

Classic 240 Deck Layout Note
The classic John Deere 240 deck system is not the same as the modern John Deere S240 Accel Deep deck system. The classic 240 uses older 38-inch and 46-inch deck layouts with primary and secondary belt paths. The modern S240 uses different 42A and 48A deck components. Confirm the tractor model, deck size, original part numbers, and belt routing before ordering.
