070-0056-00 056-8058-00 Electric PTO Clutch with Switch Compatible with Bad Boy ZT Elite 2017-2024, for Maverick 2019-2024, for Walk Behind 2017-2023, for Raider 2024

What It Is

This is an electric PTO clutch with an integrated switch, designed to engage and disengage the mower blades on specific Bad Boy mower models. It’s a direct replacement for the OEM part, restoring blade operation when the original clutch fails.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Confirmed models: Bad Boy ZT Elite (2017-2024), Maverick (2019-2024), Walk Behind (2017-2023), Raider (2024).
• What to check before buying:
  • Measure the clutch shaft diameter (typically 1” or 1-1/8”) and bolt pattern (usually 4-bolt, 3.25” center-to-center). Confirm against your existing clutch.
  • Verify your mower uses a 12V DC electrical system and that the switch connector matches your harness (this clutch includes a switch; your old one may not).
  • Check deck size – this clutch fits decks 48” to 72” on listed models, but always confirm with your serial number.
  • This is an aftermarket part, not OEM Bad Boy. It’s built to OEM specs but may have minor differences in wire length or connector style.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Rated 5.0/5 from 8 reviews – buyers report it works as a direct bolt-on replacement with no modifications.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate. Requires removing the old clutch, transferring the pulley, and wiring the new switch. Have a torque wrench (tighten to ~30-40 ft-lbs) and a puller if the old clutch is stuck.
• Common gotcha: The included switch must be wired correctly – reverse polarity can damage the clutch. Label wires before removal.
• Durability: Designed for residential/light commercial use. Not recommended for heavy-duty commercial fleets or constant daily mowing.

Should You Buy It

If you own a 2017+ Bad Boy ZT Elite, Maverick, Walk Behind, or Raider and need a reliable, budget-friendly replacement for a failed OEM clutch, this is a solid pick. It’s well-reviewed, fits as advertised, and saves about 30-40% over a dealer part. Avoid if you need a heavy-duty commercial clutch or if your mower isn’t on the confirmed list – double-check measurements first.
