We just sold a used JD zero-turn that was a trade in, it had a Kawasaki engine on it but, had JD stickers on it from the factory. Unless you really know mower engines on sight, a person couldn't tell the real brand of engine.

Yes,,, what parts are you looking for?

Yes, that is normal.....most all new blades are not "razor sharp" at all!

I just looked at them and put them back in the box, I got no specs on them. They might be on BB web site to look at though.

It depends on how old this eng/mower is but, Kaw has started putting another eng ID sticker inside the air filter area.

Yep, sounds like you have the mounting figured out. We sold a Factory BB Rogue Light Kit with a new Rogue mower this week and, that is pretty much what is in the light kit. One good thing with the new LED lights are, they use very little amps and are crazy bright!

You could mount a Lightbar on the ROPS or mount the lights on the front of the mower! Yes the factory lights for the BB Rogue are on the tank pods but.....with enough skill and ingenuity, anything is possible!

CONGRATULATIONS......that is a SUPER NICE Mower!

Ding, Ding, Ding.......we have a Winner!

It happens, don't be embarrassed about it. I've had people load up big mowers, bring them to our shop because they wouldn't start, struggle to push them off the trailer.....and the mower was only out of gas!

165 lbs of air....I tip my hat to you sir!

They are a good mower, you should like it well! Just start it, shut it off and engage blades at full throttle! Run it at full throttle anytime you are using it.....you have better results, all around!

Call your Dealer you bought it from and tell them...they should want to look at it for you!

They can be stuck on the crank sometimes, just pull on it real good and or spray PB Blaster on the top of it so it can loosen its grip overnite....I use a puller that I made for clutches. When you do get it off, use Anti-Seize on the inside of the clutch when re-installed, so it will come off...

Yes, there is a bolt that holds the clutch from spinning on some of the Bad Boys, if you lost the bolt, the clutch spinning could have broke the connector then and not from running into something! When and if you replace whatever you need, use Blue Loctite!

This, a broken clutch connector on clutch, can happen from backing the mower into / over something, I've even seen that happen from backing it on a trailer too far.

I don't know but, this guys "mechinics" shop......might be suspect!

I'm not saying your blades are not hitting each other, that can happen. The blades can also hit the edge of the deck or the deck baffles if they are bent, making about the same sound. Take the deck belt off, spin each blade by hand.....you should see where and what is hitting / making contact...

I've told people this over and over.....I'll say it again, If you want a WARRANTY you can actually count on....buy from a Dealership and not a box store and definitely not online and have it delivered for you to assemble!

Believe it or not but, lower octane fuel runs better in most all stock ( non-modified) 4 cycle snow blower, mower type engines! Now 2 strokes are a different deal, they are enhanced by higher octane. Now, without getting all scientific....It's all about the amount of compression each engine has...

There are new Ferris mowers out there, our Dealership just got 5 new 2022 models with more on the way. We are in Mid-Mo.

They sell a hand-held ring expander tool....they are cheap to buy.

B&S likes their engines to idle around 1750 but, you can set both WOT and idle RPM at your own discretion and actual application. WOT is usually around 3600 but, that's not set in stone either.

I have to post this from time to time and, after reading some of these replies......I feel it's time to post it again!

We also had trouble getting B&S heads & engines last year. Because of this, my boss ordered 98 2022 Bad Boy mowers all with Kohler, Kawasaki and Honda engines.....not one single B&S. Hopefully B&S gets this turned around as...we are still a B&S dealer and have to deal with them. Then we are...

Yeah....It sounded good but, last year was not a good year with B&S for us, so.....hopefully they are right about what they said, only time will tell....probably won't take long because we're getting close to kicking in our 2022 mowing season!

A LOT, and I mean A LOT of people think a mower warranty covers EVERYTHING no matter what, they seem to be either BLIND, or IGNORANT to the reality of a Mower Warranty! I believe a lot of that stems from buying a mower from a box store, the guy selling it to you is just working there for a job...

In that pic, looks like the right deck spindle deck mounting is cracked all around the right spindle and about to come apart!

I'm glad to hear you got that problem repaired.....Ferris (owned by B&S) is a great mower! I just went to the B&S engine update school yesterday, they said they are scaling-up, including parts manufacturing, and moving forward!

I would get the Elite going instead of the Magnum if at all possible. The Elite is a larger mower, better frame, larger tires, deeper & better deck, larger serviceable wheel motors....all around better!

Anyone else taking the Kawasaki Engine Update Class this Thurs 1-20-22 ?

None comes up on me at all.

I'm going to show my age with this old quote to Rivets and Star but...."there is more than one way to skin a cat" I do know those "cube" carbs on hand-held equipment are very sensitive to adjustment and can be adjusted out of spec real easy, so that they won't even start. Most the pros can...

This thread has turned into a real pi**ing contest between a few. The OP just wanted to know how to test DC output.....it was answered in the first 4 replies, now it's on page 5....LOL

Both AC & or DC output on mowers, can be measured with a OHM meter, while engine is running.

Kinda funny..... about 1/2 of all the replies are about 2 stroke oil type....I don't believe that was the OP question?

IMO.......O.E.M. belts is the only way to go! They might cost more but....they FIT as designed and LAST a lot longer! That's all we have used for decades, and almost never have a problem with them! That's one of the many things I like about the Dealership I work at.... we use almost all O.E.M...

We just got 1, 2022 Ferris IS2200 and 2, 2022 Ferris IS 600 in our Dealership last month along with 44, 2022 Bad Boys. There are more Ferris, Bad Boy's and Cub Cadets on the way! We are in Mid MO

I believe to ignore, you just scroll on bye or don't click at all, or.........you could just stay in bed all day!

The one thing nobody has mentioned yet, no matter what brand you buy is....one of the most important things about buying a piece of equipment is, ....buy from a Dealership (not a box store) that is close to you. Equipment needs maintenance and regular service to last. So if you can't perform...

And carb, coil, V regulator and....well, for me....most anything I got room for! Then memory comes into play.....were did I put that!

Bad Boy builds one......it bolts to most any spot on their frame. Could probably be bolted on any mower frame with a little ingenuity!

Again...whatever you are mowing, sticks, leaves or just grass, wears the bottom of the lift area in time (just as it wears out the cutting edge also), then creates a wear line, and breaks off.

I agree with this reply....still with only 1 hr on the mower, call where you bought it and tell them what happened.

That is a long distance from your Dealer, I'm taking it that you walked in, and bought it from a Ferris Dealership? If so, call them (where you bought it) and tell them about it, see what they tell you. If you bought it online, or somewhere else, it could be difficult for a Dealer (where you...

Leaves, sticks, even just grass will wear out blades like that in time......2 years is quite a long time for one set of blades! Those Mulch type blades don't have as much material / steel on the "lift" part of the blade to start with so...they will wear out even quicker!

We sell them daily for 22.99.....that is for a air filter & pre-filter kit. These OEM filters work real well!

What is your main reason for all that modification?

Finally got the #2 cyl head for the B&S EFI engine today....only took 5 1/2 months for it!

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
