Critical Fitment Check: Bore, Pulley, and Rotation
The Warner 5218 family includes many clutches that can look similar but are not interchangeable. This replacement path is built around a 1-1/8 inch bore, approximately 6.54-inch pulley, and CCW rotation from the pulley side.
| Clutch Path | Bore | Pulley | Rotation | Main Risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5218-388 / 5218-221 | 1-1/8 inch | Approx. 6.54 inch | CCW | Correct path for this listing |
| 5218-207 | 1-1/8 inch | Approx. 7.39 inch | CCW | Pulley is too large for this Ferris / Snapper path |
| 5218-213 | 1-1/8 inch | Approx. 6.31 inch | CW | Wrong rotation for this listing |
| 5218-253 | 1-1/8 inch | Approx. 7.25 inch | CCW | Dixie Chopper-style path, not this Ferris / Snapper path |
| 5219 Series | 1 inch | Varies | Varies | Smaller bore and lower torque class |
Fitment rule: Do not order by Warner family number alone. Match the full stamped number, such as 5218-388, 5218-221, or the OEM number 5105090YP / 5100084SM, then confirm the physical specs.
Before Ordering

- Crankshaft bore is 1-1/8 inch
- Pulley diameter is approximately 6.54 inches
- Rotation is CCW from pulley side
- Belt width and pulley profile match your mower deck belt path
- Connector style and jumper harness setup match or can be safely connected

- Mower model, serial number, deck size, and engine package support this clutch path
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.

Does this fit every Ferris mower?
No. Ferris uses multiple PTO clutch paths depending on mower model, deck size, engine package, and production configuration. Match the original OEM or Warner clutch number whenever possible.
What bore size does this clutch use?
This clutch path uses a 1-1/8 inch crankshaft bore. It is not interchangeable with 1-inch bore Warner 5219-series clutches.
Why does connector style matter?
This clutch path may use an integral connector and a separate jumper harness. If the jumper harness is damaged, melted, or missing, the clutch may not connect correctly without repair or replacement.
What should I check before replacing the PTO clutch?
Check the original clutch number, crankshaft bore, pulley diameter, rotation, connector style, jumper harness, anti-rotation setup, mounting hardware, deck belt routing, PTO switch, battery voltage, fuse, and ground before replacing the clutch.
