Does this PTO clutch replace Scag 462715?

Yes. This clutch replaces Scag 462715 on compatible Scag Liberty Z and later Freedom Z mower applications using the 462715 / Ogura GT1 / Xtreme X0944 clutch path.

Is Xtreme X0944 the correct cross-reference for Scag 462715?

Yes. Xtreme X0944 is the confirmed aftermarket cross-reference for the Scag 462715 clutch path.

Does this fit every Scag Freedom Z?

No. Scag Freedom Z clutch fitment can vary by serial-number block. Later Freedom Z applications commonly use the 462715 clutch path, while older Freedom Z machines may use 462610 or legacy 462012.

Does this fit Scag Liberty Z?

Yes, this clutch fits select Scag Liberty Z applications using the 462715 clutch path. Confirm your model, serial number, original clutch number, 1-inch bore, 5.0-inch pulley, CCW rotation, and connector style before ordering.

Is Scag 462715 the same as Scag 462610?

No. Do not treat 462715 and 462610 as the same clutch. The 462610 path is associated with older Freedom Z and SWZT walk-behind applications, while 462715 is associated with later Freedom Z and Liberty Z applications.

Is this the same as Xtreme X0651?

No. Xtreme X0651 belongs to a different Scag commercial clutch path, commonly associated with larger commercial machines. It uses a different bore, pulley size, and rotation path and should not be merged with Scag 462715.

Is this the same as 1686880SM or 759-05064?

No. 1686880SM and 759-05064 are separate clutch paths that are often incorrectly merged in broad aftermarket listings. This Scag 462715 clutch uses a strict 5.0-inch pulley, while those other paths use larger pulley dimensions.

What bore size does this clutch use?

This clutch uses a 1-inch crankshaft bore. Confirm your crankshaft size before ordering.

What pulley diameter does this clutch use?

This clutch uses a 5.0-inch pulley diameter. Do not substitute a 5.31-inch, 5.35-inch, or 5-3/8-inch pulley clutch unless your original part number confirms that different path.

What rotation does this clutch use?

This clutch uses counter-clockwise rotation, commonly written as CCW. Match rotation before installing a replacement.
