033-6001-00-4 3/4 Idler Pulley Bad Boy Replaces Bad Boy 033-6001-00 Pulley 033 6001 00, 033600100 for Bad Boy Zt Elite 60 Inch Idler Pulley, Bad Boy Maverick Idler Pulley

What It Is

This is a 3/4-inch wide idler pulley designed to guide and tension the drive belt on Bad Boy zero-turn mowers, specifically for decks like the ZT Elite 60-inch and Maverick models. It reduces belt wear by maintaining proper belt routing and tension.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Primary fit: Bad Boy ZT Elite (60-inch deck) and Bad Boy Maverick models.
• OEM part number: Replaces Bad Boy 033-6001-00 (also listed as 033 6001 00 or 033600100).
• Key measurements: 3/4-inch belt width; verify your existing pulley’s outer diameter (approx. 4-5 inches) and bearing bore size (typically 5/8-inch or 3/4-inch) by measuring yours.
• Check before buying: Confirm your deck size (60-inch is common, but cross-reference with your model’s manual). This is an aftermarket replacement—identical specs to OEM but not genuine Bad Boy. Ensure your belt is 3/4-inch wide; if your machine uses a 1/2-inch belt, this won’t fit.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Aftermarket, but high rating (4.7/5) suggests good durability—check reviews for long-term bearing noise.
• Installation: Moderate difficulty; you’ll need a socket set and possibly a pulley puller. No special tools required, but tensioning the belt correctly is critical.
• Common gotcha: The pulley may have a different finish (painted vs. raw steel) than OEM—doesn’t affect function, but note cosmetic difference.
• Belt check: If your belt is worn or stretched, replace it simultaneously to avoid premature pulley wear.

Should You Buy It

If you own a Bad Boy ZT Elite 60-inch or Maverick mower and need a reliable, cost-effective idler pulley replacement, this is a solid choice. It’s not OEM, but the price is roughly half of a genuine Bad Boy part and user feedback is strong. Avoid if you prefer factory parts or need fitment for non-listed models.
