The drive belt tension spring loops through a hole on the front edge of the idler pulley arm, then the other end loops through a 3/8 x 1 inch longated hole, on the right side edge of the bottom floor pan.

One thing I noticed in your pics is, the belt is twisted.

And I thought a little clover in my yard was a bad deal....

I see someone went to the same Arts and Drafting Class I did!

The Ferris mowers we sell have a 4 yr warranty (to the original owner) so 2017 is in that window.......I would check into that if I were you.

Nope, Fusion blades are about as good as you can get. Fusion is in reality, small welds on the bottom of the blade on the cutting edge, welds are harder then grade steel, that's why they do that. "wet thick grass" will take a toll on any blade in time and "Sand" will wear any blade down fairly...

Thanks.....I was just trying to figure out what eng you had. You said something about a Kaw EFI but had a choke knob, so I had to check it out. Anyways....from your pics you have a Kaw FR651 carbureted engine rated at 21.5 hp. Cub Cadet does have a EFI eng that comes on them that is built...

I'd really like to see a pic of your engine from, standing behind the mower, and the model & serial # off the engine, if it's a Kaw, it will have a code #

Probably would've had to call the cops...I try to NOT, escalate problems if at all possible....people are on the very edge in todays society!

About a month ago, a guy brought in a zero turn mower in that he bought from us, and had it 2 weeks. It had quit running in the middle of his mow, and this guy was pissed off about it. He had to get help to push it on the trailer to bring it to us. He was so pissed off and mad about it that I...

The first mistake they make is.......opening their tool box!

I'll just say this and leave it at that, just because the Flywheel magnet and coil is lined up, doesn't mean that cyl is at TDC....there is more to it than that.

Not to be critical but....."got what I believed the Cyl to be at TDC" might just be the problem, you have to know where TDC is and also know what you're doing. It's easier to mess things up than to repair them......if you're just guessing.

B&S is not defunked yet....my boss said the harness has been shipped....we'll see!

This is correct! I just found it odd that a part (eng wiring harness for their high dollar EFI eng on their B&S high dollar mower) on a 2 year old mower that has a 4 yr B&S warranty, is on back order. B&S told me they had a problem with them (the harness) so, you would think they had them in...

It could be the EX gasket leaking but, those Kohlers are prone to head gaskets blowing. Try to isolate the "puffing" noise so you'll know what to repair.

This must be why a B&S eng wiring harness, for a Vang EFI eng that we ordered to repair a customers mower, is on back order......now I know why it's taking so long to get it....I hate it for our customer.

One draw back is......Tecumseh went out of business a few years ago, there are a few aftermarket products but, they are limited.

Sure, it will work without it but, for how long before you start throwing the belt off. When you engage the blades, have you ever noticed how it twists the deck? That stabilizer rod helps keep the deck from twisting thus...keeping the belt more aligned and tight when engaged.

Heli-coils if you can find that thread pitch.....I have made them work in some tougher spots then that!

Sounds like a low battery...make sure your "brand new" battery is good, enough CCA's and holding charge....I have seen "brand new" batteries not be good enough, and or make sure the mower is charging the battery....the PTO clutch uses a lot of amps and will shut the eng off when in use, if the...

I'd say, unless you can seal it back up real good....your thinner lube will just run out of it eventually. Grease clings and will stay longer.....remember, this is a low speed mower, not a car going down the highway at 70 mph.

It is most likely the PTO switch....but if the Clutch is bad or going bad, it will burn out a new PTO switch within a few minutes. The dealer you bought it from should at least check it out for you....even if they won't warranty it. The clutch has a resistance that is measured to see if it is bad.

Go to a Cub Cadet mower dealership, not a box store, with the model # of your mower off the white tag under the seat.....you should get the correct belt that way.....should!

Yep...wrong belt, if the pic of the belt is the one you used.....it says fits Lawn Tractors and they are very different from a RZT

If you bought it new in 2019 and are the original owner, it should still be under warranty. The Bad Boys we sell (we are a new mower dealership and not a box store) have a 2 year warranty. Warranty covers manufactures defects, if that is what it is......if it is a defect caused by the owner...

Just find you a mower shop that will mount Flat-Free tires on your wheels.....we do it all the time!

12 is the vent tube - 21 is the vent, it does not connect anywhere...they are usually run up vertical from the tank out of the way......it vents the tank.

Those are decent mowers but, It really depends on what kind of service it's had through the years, some people never service a mower and run it until it stops...others maintain a regular service schedule so they will last longer. Either way, 518 hrs is getting up there and there are a lot of...

New B&S "chromed" or plated pistons actually have a dull gray looking finish on them...the New B&S un-plated pistons are shiny and look more like polished Alum.

That's all true but......I call that, "job security"

I typed that wrong...it's 10% not 15%.....my bad!

All newer mowers are good for up to 15% of good, fresh ethanol gas, says so right on the fuel caps ...it also depends on where and how the mower is stored.

I tell people everyday....DO NOT REMOVE DECK to replace the blades....if you do, you're doing way more work then you need to and you might run in to a problem after you re-install it!

Bad Boy mowers have a routing diagram sticker on them for the drive & deck belt....if they havn't been high pressure washed off! High pressure washing is another "subject" though!

Each lap bar has a "stop" on them, loosen L. lap bar stop and adjust it to the speed that drives it straight!

I believe that's a 2001

Believe it or not.....mowers start easier and RUN BETTER on 87 octane fuel.........and NOT high octane fuel !

Negative on deck wash-out systems! They only work half-a$$ed at best and must be used every time you mow or they get plugged up up with dried grass plus...as said earlier, they make a huge mess and you'll get water in your deck spindles eventually and the bearings will be going out soon after.

The zirks or 1/4" bolts we are referring to here are on the very front of the frame, one on each side, the vertical part that houses the front caster bearings. If there are 1/4" bolts there (takes a 7/16 socket to remove)...simply remove the bolts and screw in grease zirks and grease during...

We are a Ferris dealer, along with Bad Boy & Cub Cadet,...... all our new in crate Ferris mowers, come with no grease zirks in the front casters but we install zirks in all of them when we set them up and are sold like that!

Those marks make no difference where you put them because, as the inner spins, it spins to a different spot anyway. The charge pumps do need to be put on the correct way or the whl mtr will not move or do anything.

The ZT Elite is better mower than the Magnum, even with a Kohler! Bad Boy has a model in between those 2 called an ZT Avenger.....look into those also!

We put 15 in rear tires and 20 in the fronts in most all mowers like that.....our Ferris's call for 25 in the front

I must need new glasses, I could swear that gauge reads 175....that is one healthy chainsaw!

To get that bolt off, if you're going to do it with a hand tool, you have to hold the flywheel / crankshaft from turning in some fashion...or use an air or electric impact gun, it will snap it loose....re-install the same way.

A heavy rain....and sometimes, a not so heavy rain with wind, can get water in / on the starter drive and, the water makes it slip until it is dried. This could be your problem.

Bad Boys have improved all their mowers in the last 6 years. As far as the cut itself, there are a few things to look for and correct, the 5 main things are : deck level - deck rake - good and sharp blades (not worn out) - deck clean of debris (bottom) - blade speed (most people don't even...

This is correct...sounds like a blown main fuse...only thing is, fuses don't usually blow for no reason so if it does it again fairly soon, you must find the reason for it.

It's hard to repair something over the phone or the keyboard but, sounds like you may have the Governor linkage or spring out of Spec?
