Hi Everyone - I have an ariens ride-on mower with a bad electric pto clutch. It's a Warner 5217-25 model which i've found online at a few places for $300+ - i spent much less for the mower and dont want to foot that much of a bill for this part. Does anyone know where i can get one for cheaper, or if any other models fit? I see 5217-xx Warner clutches for $100 or so but i'm not sure of the fit, or even if i could modify the mounts and electrical to make it work?
I'm assuming the electrical is all the same, just the 12V going into the unit to active the electro-magnet. And the bolt pattern and spindle shaft size would the other things to look at.
Any thoughts here? Does anyone also know if there's a mod or kit to replace with a manual PTO instead of the electric? I'd do either as long as its on the cheap.
Thanks in advance!
Alan
