PTO Clutch Lawn Mower PTO Clutch Scag - 461715

The 461715 is built on the Ogura GT3.5-MC07 - the exact platform Ogura supplies to Scag for the Tiger Cub and Turf Tiger assembly lines. The GT3.5's coil diameter, armature design, and electrical characteristics are calibrated to Scag's commercial driveline: smooth engagement on pull-in, fast blade stop on release, and stable holding torque across the machine's full operating range. This is the same clutch architecture Scag installs at the factory - not a cross-brand adaptation with different current draw or engagement timing.

Rated at 250 ft-lbs OEM - with upgraded variants at 272–300 ft-lbs - this clutch operates in the full commercial torque class. The Tiger Cub's wide fabricated decks and the Turf Tiger's 61-inch to 72-inch platforms generate blade inertia that a residential-grade clutch cannot hold under load. The 250 ft-lb rating maintains full blade speed through wet turf, heavy thatch, and mulching conditions, while the upgraded coil variants provide additional headroom for operators running the most demanding cutting schedules.

This clutch features a replaceable pulley bearing packed with high-temperature grease - a serviceability design that extends clutch life in commercial operation. When the pulley bearing develops play after extended hours, it can be pressed out and replaced without replacing the coil, armature, or entire assembly. For fleets running multiple Tiger Cubs and Turf Tigers, the replaceable bearing converts what would be a full clutch replacement on competitive brands into a bench repair at a fraction of the cost - and high-temperature grease keeps the bearing lubricated through the engine-heat environment that degrades standard greases.

One clutch replaces five Scag OEM part numbers - 461715, 461398, 461527, 461592, and 461661 - across the Tiger Cub and Turf Tiger platforms. For dealers stocking Scag parts, for fleet managers running mixed Tiger Cub/Turf Tiger units, and for independent shops that see multiple Scag models, a single SKU covers the breadth of Scag's compact-to-flagship commercial range. The integrated water-tight, impact-resistant harness is available separately as the mower-side repair kit (XMC1003), giving operators a complete wiring-repair path without replacing the clutch.
