Cross-reference warning: Some aftermarket catalogs associate Country Clipper E-6532 with Warner 5218-283 or other aftermarket clutch numbers.

Fitment Check
Do not order this PTO clutch by appearance alone. Several commercial clutch assemblies can look similar while using different pulley offsets, connector layouts, anti-rotation stops, torque ratings, and belt geometry.
Match the original clutch number first, then confirm:
- Warner 5218-355 or Country Clipper E-6532 identification
- 1-1/8-inch crankshaft bore
- 6.28-inch pulley diameter
- CCW rotation and the rotation-viewing convention
- Integral connector style and wiring orientation
- Anti-rotation stop or bracket position
- Pulley offset and deck-belt alignment
- Belt width and pulley-groove profile
- Mower model and complete serial number
- Engine package and crankshaft configuration
Common Symptoms of a Failing PTO Clutch
- Mower blades will not engage when the PTO switch is activated
- Clutch clicks but the deck belt does not begin turning
- Blades engage when cold but stop after the mower heats up
- Intermittent blade engagement under load
- Deck belt slips, squeals, smokes, or overheats
- Burning smell near the engine crankshaft or clutch
- Grinding, bearing noise, or excessive clutch vibration
- Visible heat damage at the pulley, bearing, connector, or coil housing
A weak battery, charging-system problem, damaged PTO switch, poor ground, corroded connector, slipping belt, seized spindle, or dragging idler can produce similar symptoms. Test the electrical and deck-drive systems before replacing the clutch.
