Bad Boy MZ Mowers

[shroom]

It took several phone calls, but Badboy sold me a RH transaxle for $427 shipped, a discount of about $125. Installing it took about 1/2 hour, and my MZ is again functional.

So kudos to Badboy for the discount, but again, the transaxle should not have failed so (relatively) soon.

I just got a bad Boy in today and the owner complained about scalping, we are going to try taller deck wheels, do you think it will work, please I am open to suggestions..

What size deck did he use before? What size now? What height is he cutting grass? This is much more important than what size anti scalp wheels.

He had a 61 inch deck before on a Bob Cat mower, and now has a 61 inch deck on this Bad Boy mower, he is cutting the grass at 3 1/2 and sometimes 4 inches, mowing level is now problem, it is when there is a small hill or mounds in the yard. I hope that makes sense..

 

[ep103]

should have said mowing level is no problem..

What mower because the Bad Boy MZ only has 48" and 54" listed?

I am not sure of the model, but it is a 61 inch deck, and it is a 2010 model, he just purchased it a few months ago, perhaps someone changed the deck on it, and that is why it is scalping, not sure..

If the tires and the frame or not wide enough for a 61 inch deck it will scalp.

Ok, not sure how big the motors were on the smaller units, but this one has a 27 horse Kohler, and the deck appears to fit well, I am thinking that even though they look ok, the deck wheels may be wore down to much but I am just guessing...
