Compatible Ferris Applications
Ferris ProCut Z
Ferris illustrated parts manual 22115, dated February 1998 and covering serial number 501 and up, identifies 1522040 as the electric clutch for the following models:
| Model | Engine Configuration | Catalog Coverage |
|---|---|---|
| PCZ22K | 22 HP Kohler | Serial 501 and up, within manual 22115 |
| PCZ25K | 25 HP Kohler | Serial 501 and up, within manual 22115 |
The catalog covers PCZ52 and PCZ61 cutter decks. Confirm the clutch reference for your complete mower configuration rather than choosing by deck width alone.
Serial-number note: “501 and up” describes the coverage of this specific historical catalog. It should not be extended automatically to later ProCut generations or other Ferris mower families.
Early Ferris ISZ — Additional Verification Required
Early ISZ22K and ISZ25K machines are related applications worth checking, but their clutch identification must be verified separately. Ferris manual 22219 lists 22040 for the electric clutch and a separate 45330 entry for ISZKAV23.
The later ISZ manual beginning at serial 2269 specifies 22334. Do not select this replacement from the ISZ name alone. Confirm that the installed clutch or verified replacement specification matches 1522040 / Warner 5218-5.
OEM Part Number Reference
- Ferris: 1522040
Manufacturer Cross-Reference
- Warner Electric: 5218-5
- Warner Electric: 52185
Warner lists 1522040 among the manufacturer part numbers associated with its 5218-5 clutch. Match the physical configuration as well as the reference number.

FAQ
Does this PTO clutch replace Ferris 1522040?
This aftermarket assembly is offered as a replacement for Ferris 1522040 on supported applications. Confirm the original clutch number and physical configuration before ordering.
Which Ferris ProCut Z models use this clutch?
Ferris manual 22115 lists 1522040 for PCZ22K and PCZ25K models within its serial 501-and-up coverage. Match your mower’s identification tag and applicable parts catalog.
Does this fit every Ferris ISZ mower?
No. Ferris used different clutch references across ISZ engine configurations and production changes. Check the complete model, serial number, original clutch identification, and any previous conversion before selecting a replacement.
What is the Warner cross-reference?
The direct manufacturer reference is Warner 5218-5, also written without the dash as 52185.
Why do some reference specifications list a 6.3-inch pulley?
Warner lists a 6.31-inch outside diameter for its 5218-5 clutch. The aftermarket unit offered here has a measured outside diameter of approximately 6.125 inches.
Outside diameter and the working diameter where the belt rides are different measurements. For belt speed, the critical measurement is that working diameter—not the outer flange edge. The outside measurement alone does not establish compatibility; the belt groove, pulley offset, and specified application must also match.
What bore size does this clutch use?
This clutch has a 1-1/8-inch crankshaft bore, also written as 1.125 inches. Match the bore and key arrangement to your original assembly.
Is this a reverse-mount clutch?
Yes. This replacement uses a reverse-mount configuration. Follow the mounting orientation and spacer arrangement specified for your mower. Product-photo orientation is not an installation diagram.
What belt should I use?
Use the OEM-specified belt for your exact mower and deck configuration. Confirm belt width, length, and profile rather than choosing a belt from clutch diameter alone.
Can PTO Direct USA help confirm fitment?
Yes. We provide fitment support before and after purchase. Email support@ptodirectusa.com with your Ferris model, serial number, engine information, and original clutch number. Include photos of the clutch label, bore, pulley, wiring connector, and anti-rotation connection.
