Critical Fitment Warning: 1-1/8 Inch Bore Only
This is a commercial-grade 1-1/8 inch bore PTO clutch. It is not the common 1-inch bore Cub Cadet / MTD clutch used on many residential zero-turns and lawn tractors.
Do not order this clutch by appearance alone. Many Cub Cadet and MTD PTO clutches look similar, but the bore size, pulley diameter, torque class, and mower application can be different.
| Part Number | Bore | Pulley | Main Application | Fitment Risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 01001979P | 1-1/8 inch | 5.35 inch | Commercial Cub Cadet / MTD Pro / Kubota | Correct path for this listing |
| 01008434 / 759-05064 | 1 inch | 5.35 inch | Residential and light commercial Cub Cadet / MTD platforms | Looks similar but has smaller bore |
| 717-04180 / 917-04180 | 1-1/8 inch | 6.00 inch | Cub Cadet garden tractor applications | Same bore but larger pulley |
| 917-05209 / 717-04376A | 1 inch | 6.00 inch | Modern Cub Cadet / MTD residential applications | Wrong bore and wrong pulley |
Fitment rule: If your mower uses a 1-inch bore clutch, this is not the correct replacement. If you are comparing this to the common 01008434 / 759-05064 path, read the 759-05064 vs 01008434 PTO clutch guide or see the 759-05064 PTO clutch replacement.

Do not install or test-mount the clutch until fitment is confirmed. Installation marks can affect return eligibility.
Installation and Burnishing Note
New electric PTO clutches may require a proper burnishing procedure after installation. Burnishing helps seat the friction surfaces so the clutch can develop full holding power under load.
After installation, cycle the clutch on and off at moderate engine speed with no cutting load. Avoid immediately engaging the deck at full throttle in heavy grass before the clutch has been properly seated.
For removal tips, wiring checks, torque guidance, and burnishing steps, read the PTO Clutch Installation Guide before installing.

FAQ
Does this replace Cub Cadet 01001979P?
Yes, this listing is built for the Cub Cadet / MTD 01001979P clutch path used on select commercial Cub Cadet and MTD Pro mower applications. Confirm your original clutch number before ordering.
Does this replace Kubota K1211-32010?
Yes, Kubota K1211-32010 and K1211-32011 are commonly associated with the same Ogura GT2-CT07 clutch path. Confirm your original clutch number and mower application before ordering.
What Ogura number does this replace?
This clutch path is commonly associated with Ogura GT2-CT07, also referenced as GT2CT07 and MA-GT-KB07PS.
Is this the same as 01008434 or 759-05064?
No. The 01001979P clutch uses a 1-1/8 inch bore. The common 01008434 / 759-05064 clutch path uses a 1-inch bore. They can look similar, but they are not interchangeable.
Does this fit residential Cub Cadet XT1, XT2, RZT, ZT1, ZT2, or ZT3 models?
No. This clutch is intended for select commercial Cub Cadet / MTD Pro platforms using the 01001979P clutch path. Most residential Cub Cadet platforms use different 1-inch bore PTO clutches.
Why does pulley diameter matter?
The pulley diameter affects belt speed, deck speed, belt tension, and mower performance. This clutch uses an approximately 5.35-inch pulley. Do not replace it with a similar-looking 6-inch pulley clutch unless your OEM part number confirms that path.
What should I check before replacing the PTO clutch?
Check the original clutch number, crankshaft bore, pulley diameter, rotation, wiring connector, anti-rotation setup, mounting bolt, deck belt routing, PTO switch, battery voltage, fuse, and ground before replacing the clutch.
