Bad Boy Zero Turn Tracking Adjustment | How to Make Mower Go Straight

[@johnslawns9327]

This video just saved me hours of troubleshooting. Just bought the bad boy Magnum 54” manufactured in December 2024 And am currently fixing issue #2 from the video. The machine has 6hrs use on it. Very disappointed with all the loose components in this new model. My side plate bolts have also come off during mowing from being assembled poorly. Love Bad Boy but come on men! Keep making quality equipment please

Awesome video,……thanks! I’m a zero turn mower newbie. I just received my 2024 Bad Boy ZT Elite yesterday and used it for the first time. It seems to be tracking to the right. I’m going to use it a few more times and then adjust it based on your instructions. Keep up the great work and you just gained a new subscriber!

Great video. , customers need more videos on BADBOY mowers grease fitting locations on the different models, belt. Tension, using belt tension gauge, put a maintenance sticker and parts sticker under the seat would be a great help.

[@howeequipment]

Good thoughts. Thanks for watching. It would be good to put out more videos post purchasing the mower.

Very helpful! Thanks for sharing.

[@howeequipment]

No problem

Great video. I was trying to find an answer for this and there don't seem to be a lot out there. Gets to the point, easy to understsand and not a bunch of fluff in between. For the second nut adjustment, why not just put a washer and lock-nut on there? Seems like it's going to keep vibrating loose?

[@howeequipment]

That would make sense, thanks for watching.

[@TristanKing930]

Thanks! Loose tracking bolt it was.

[@howeequipment]

Glad we could help!

[@francop962]

Since these nuts and bolts are subject to lots of vibration, wouldn’t a dab of blue loctite or even a lock washer work?

[@howeequipment]

Yes that would work

[@arthurrabon9349]

when are we going to see steering wheel zero turn like cub cadet

[@howeequipment]

I don't think there is any plan for that

[@buckbenelli8]

How about some lock tite or a non slip bolt. I’m shopping for a zero turn, and little stuff like that makes me wonder if anything is made bullet proof anymore.

[@howeequipment]

That would be a good way to go.

[@viper3d1]

So my question is, why not use a collared bolt with a Nylock so that it doesn't tighten it up too tight but tightens it up tight enough that you won't lose nut? Poorly engineered?....

[@howeequipment]

Hopefully bad boy see this.

[@gmellenjr]

The owners manual sucks in explaining tracking adjustments

[@howeequipment]

Hope this helped.
