This electric PTO clutch is used on John Deere X300, X500, and EZtrak mower platforms.
The AM141536 PTO clutch is a widely used OEM electric clutch found on John Deere lawn tractors and zero-turn mowers, including X300 Series, X500 Series, and EZtrak platforms. It also replaces earlier OEM part numbers such as AM134397 and AM143390, with identical specifications and fitment.
If your original clutch is marked AM141536 or any of the cross-reference numbers listed below, the correct replacement is the AM141536 PTO clutch.
What the AM141536 PTO Clutch Does
An electric PTO clutch mounts to the engine crankshaft and controls engagement of the mower deck belt. When activated, the clutch transfers engine power to spin the mower blades.
Over time, internal components such as bearings and the electromagnetic coil wear down due to heat and repeated engagement cycles. When this happens, the clutch may fail to engage consistently or stop working entirely.
If your mower blades are not engaging, slipping under load, or producing noise when activating the PTO switch, a worn clutch is one of the most common causes. Replacing the PTO clutch restores proper blade engagement and cutting performance.
