Any idea where this bolt came from. Noticed it in the back yard after mowing and assume it came off my mower but haven’t noticed anything missing. I have a 2021 bad boy maverick

Weird that the nut is still on, think that would have prevented it from falling out or off..

Definite wear pattern around the 1-3/8" point from bolt head.

My thought is there are a couple washers and the other nut that holds it on are missing Basically sandwiched to something. Did a search of the parts list for his mower but didn't find anything of that size.

Looks like it may act as a guide on the back of the deck and it shows 2 nuts being used on it to attach it to the deck shell, one of which probably loosened is laying in your yard somewhere

Ok so I looked and I have those two “guide bolts” that are on the back part of the deck and this bolt is a 1/4” bolt in
