FAQ
Does this PTO clutch replace Husqvarna 539102603?
Yes. This aftermarket clutch is offered as a replacement for Husqvarna 539102603 on supported applications. Match your original clutch number and physical configuration before ordering.
Are 102603, 539109580, and 109580 covered by this listing?
Yes. These references are included in this replacement’s Husqvarna application family. Check the original clutch number, connector, and mounting configuration against your mower before purchasing.
Does this fit every Husqvarna ZTH mower?
No. This listing covers select ZTH5223A and ZTH5225A applications using the listed clutch numbers. Other ZTH models and configurations may require a different clutch.
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. This aftermarket clutch is designed to replace the OEM and manufacturer part numbers listed here.
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 clutch.
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 connector does this clutch use?
The clutch has a flat side-by-side connector. An optional wire harness extends the connection to a T-plug. Compare your mower’s wiring connection before choosing the configuration.
What belt should I use?
Use the OEM-specified belt for your exact mower and deck configuration. Belt width, length, and profile must suit the complete drive system.

Yes. We provide fitment support before and after purchase. Email support@ptodirectusa.com with your mower model, product number, serial number, engine information, and original clutch number. Include photos of the clutch label, bore, pulley, connector, and anti-rotation connection.
