We just got 18 more 2022 Bad Boy mowers last Thurs, that with the 21 BB mowers we got the week before that....that is 39 of the 98 ordered 2022 BB mowers in a 2 week span. Also 1 new Ferris came in last week but, it was on the 2021 order....so

Well for one thing....the price of steel has went up 215% since less than a year ago. The manufacturer can absorb some of that cost but the end buyer has too come up with the rest of it! I don't know when the USA will figure out not to sell foreign countries steel for xx, then turn around and...

I understand COMPLETLEY! I still monitor this forum daily but, quit giving advice (that took years of schooling and decades of experience to learn) about a year ago....for a lot of the same reasons as yourself, and a couple more!

I see another GOOD TECH has left the forum, StarTech is gone..... looks like only 1 other Tech on the forum has the info he did and will post that info!

I'm not sure where they are located on the cover/shroud of a 12 HP but, there are usually 3 lines of #'s stamped on it. You have to look at every square inch of the shroud real good. I guess there could be a tag on the shroud also but, most likely stamped!

No Yamaha and No Briggs & Strattons......all for various reasons! They are Kawasaki, Kohler and Hondas! We are yet to get the Hondas....as they are on the larger models and they should be on the 2nd or 3rd delivery!

Nobody likes being charged a lot of money for any repair, especially after they pay and the problem is not repaired......but if it is repaired, they don't mind it "as" bad. Just remember, you can't always please everyone.....no matter what you do, even if you do a lot of it..... for free!

We just got 21 new Bad Boys in 2 weeks ago, which is a full tractor trailer load. There are 77 more on the way. New Ferris mowers started arriving last week. Cub Cadets are on order but have yet to see any of those.

Those bolts, if it is original, have Loctite on them too.....so the piece up in there is Loctited in!

The reason I asked that is, 1 tooth either way, advanced or retarded, is too many degrees to run real good or better than O.E.M. setting.....now a few thousands, yes...but 1 tooth, nope! The attached pic is how I do it!

You moved the cam, 1 tooth on the crank gear......you actually did this?

Just so you know in case you call a shop about it....that is called a 5" tire because it goes on a 5" wheel....it's not called a 11" tire. Spend the cost it takes to have a shop do it....you'll be a lot happier in the end!

No....just stating that the dealership I work for is already getting 2022 product!

We are a Bad Boy, Ferris and Cub Cadet mower Dealership. 2022 Bad Boys are rolling in now, the other brands are sure to follow! Look up Bad Boy mowers online for pics and info!

Our 2022 Bad Boy Mowers are arriving as I type this! They are in Mid-Mo......come get one!

All I can do is SMH

BB had a 33hp Yamaha EFI engine and a few others, on some 2021 mowers

If I'm not mistaken, my boss told me some of the 2022 Bad Boys she ordered, have Hondas......since this B&S fiasco....she ordered Kaw, Kohler and Hondas....NO B&S engines! She also said BB dropped Yamaha engines, I think only because lack of availability!

Seems like I do recall, at the Kawasaki engine update "schools" that if a John Deere product had a Kaw engine, you had to go through JD instead of Kaw! JD must have a lot of Kaw products and a lot of $$$, to have a hold on Kaw like that!

I saw on TV news yesterday that JD might go on strike.......?

I saw a guy here in Mo, build a 3/4 million $ house and have decorative gravel and mulch put all over the yard because he did not want have to deal with the grass....funny thing is, it's the Dad, of the owner of the MOWER Dealership I work at......I mean, we sell mowers and service them for a...

This ^^^^^^^!

Wow....and I thought 3.5 months was bad!

Crazy, after waiting 3 1/2 months for a 28hp Twin directly from B&S.....finally got it yesterday. I wasn't sure if B&S was still breathing air but.....I guess they are! Oh wait....still waiting on some B&S E.F.I. cylinder heads.....2 1/2 months so far on those!

I have an infamous B&S 49T877 engine with 80 hrs that I'm parting out....heads, crankshaft, piston, rod, coil, carb, flywheel etc!
