Yes, to a Kohler K341AQS.

olcowhand - I noticed you mentioned this motor.  I've been researching clutches for the K341AQS but what I'm seeing is for a 1" shaft, whereas the motor I have is 1.125".  I see a stamp on the front that says "K341" (without the "AQS").  Are we talking about two different motors?

Sounds like not the OE engine.

I have a kohler engine off a 1650 that has the clutch. Let me check the shaft sizes this weekend and see if they match. I have no idea but I am pretty sure mine is a an orginal engine.

You may be right - Dad had the motor replaced in the mid 90's.  Unfortunately, there's no decal or tag that says the model number of engine.

Have you located a a front electric clutch for your MF 1650,... yet?  There is a used MF1650 electric PTO posting on EBAY from JOES OUTDOOR POWER.

Check it out.

Its been a while, but we finally reassembled the tractor! I thought I'd post back to put some closure on this thread.

 

I never did find a new OEM style clutch, but found an aftermarket one using the website https://www.stens.co...ic-pto-clutches.  This website is great because it let me search by specs rather than tractor model (recall I may not have an OEM motor).

 

I used the part number from the Stens website to get a new Ox Clutch.  Its a different design - the pulley is a little bit smaller than before, and the main shaft has a sideload now that it didn't have before.  On the other hand, it cuts grass just fine!
