Aeagle PTO Clutch Replacement for Cub Cadet Husqvarna MTD AYP – 170056 Direct-Fit, OEM Cross-Reference

Aeagle 170056 PTO clutch is a direct-fit replacement clutch assembly engineered to restore PTO engagement for compatible Cub Cadet, Husqvarna, MTD and AYP lawn tractors.

If your mower’s deck won’t engage or the blade clutch feels worn, this Aeagle clutch offers a factory-style alternative built to match the original part numbers listed by OEMs. It replaces multiple part numbers (170056, 140923, 532174509, 174509, 532150283 and related cross-references) and is made to fit a wide range of models across Husqvarna, Cub Cadet, MTD, AYP, Poulan and several retailer-branded machines. Before ordering, compare the part numbers and model years to the compatibility details to ensure a correct match.

Which machines and part numbers will this clutch replace?

• Not universal — verify your machine’s part number and production year before purchase.

How do I confirm fit for my Husqvarna GTH or AYP tractor?

Check the service manual or the existing clutch stamping for the OEM part number and compare it to the cross-listing. The product lists specific model-year ranges and exceptions, so verification prevents returns and ensures proper operation.

• Locate the part number on your current clutch or in the mower’s parts diagram.
• Compare year and model against the detailed compatibility notes (e.g., GTH220 pre-1999, selected GTH250/GTH2550 variants by year).
• Refer to the AYP series lists for PP, PPR, YT and QPGT/RKGT model matches shown in the product features.

What performance and installation details should I expect?

The Aeagle clutch is built for the same function as the original: transferring PTO power to the cutting deck and enabling controlled engagement/disengagement. It fits into the existing mounting and belt routing on compatible tractors; installation typically requires basic hand tools and adherence to safety procedures.

• Designed for bolt-on replacement where original mount points are used.
• Restores PTO engagement and safe blade shutoff when functioning correctly.
• Installation time commonly ranges from 30–90 minutes depending on access and experience.
• Follow mower manufacturer torque specs and safety steps when replacing the clutch.

Are there any limitations or special notes to consider?

While the clutch covers many cross-referenced part numbers, there are model-year exceptions and series-specific fit notes. This is not a universal fit — buying without confirming part compatibility can lead to mismatches.

• Some GTH and AYP variants are excluded; review the list carefully for excluded part numbers.
• Older or modified tractors may require additional adapters or different shaft specifications.
• If unsure, capture the number stamped on your old clutch and compare it directly to the replacement listing.

Who is this for: This Aeagle 170056 PTO clutch is aimed at homeowners, landscapers and repair shops maintaining mid‑1990s through early‑2000s Cub Cadet, Husqvarna, AYP/PP/PPR series and compatible MTD/Poulan machines who need a reliable, OEM-style replacement. It’s suitable for technicians who can verify model year and part number and who want to restore safe PTO function without sourcing original OEM inventory.
