ACS6000B Mower Chute Blocker Discharge Shield Compatible with Bad Boy Mower ZT CZT Outlaw Rebel Rogue Maverick Models, 54" 60" 61" 72" Decks Advanced Chute System Replace 088-6000-00 088600000

What It Is

This is an aftermarket mower chute blocker (discharge shield) designed for Bad Boy mowers equipped with the Advanced Chute System (ACS). It replaces the OEM part 088-6000-00 and blocks the side discharge opening to contain clippings for mulching or bagging.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Deck sizes: Fits 54", 60", 61", and 72" Bad Boy decks with ACS.
• Compatible models: ZT, CZT, Outlaw, Rebel, Rogue, Maverick (and other Bad Boy models with the same ACS system).
• Check before buying: Ensure your deck has the Advanced Chute System—look for the spring-loaded chute latch mechanism near the discharge opening. Measure the width of your existing chute opening (should match one of the sizes above). This is an aftermarket part, so inspect the mounting holes and latch hook alignment against your OEM shield before installation.

Key Things to Know

• Installation difficulty: Moderate—requires removing the old shield and aligning the new one with the spring latch. No special tools needed, but expect 15–30 minutes.
• Build quality: Users report it’s sturdy, but some note the latch hook can be slightly off-center on certain decks. A file or small adjustment may be needed.
• Common gotcha: The rubber gasket may not seal as tightly as OEM, allowing some fine clippings to escape. Check for gaps after installation.
• Fitment note: Not compatible with non-ACS Bad Boy decks (e.g., older models without the spring latch system). Verify your deck has the ACS before buying.

Should You Buy It

If you need a replacement chute blocker for a Bad Boy ACS deck and want to save roughly $30–50 over OEM, this is a solid choice—provided you’re comfortable with a minor fitment tweak. It’s best for DIY owners who don’t mind a small adjustment to the latch or gasket. For a perfect drop-in fit with zero hassle, stick with the OEM part.
