Parts 4 Outdoor 4 Bad BOY 15172 Deck Wheels + Bolt 018-0010-00, 022-1000-00, 022-5234-98

What It Is

This is a replacement deck wheel and bolt set for Bad Boy zero-turn mowers, designed to support the mower deck and prevent scalping during operation. It includes four wheels and the necessary mounting hardware (018-0010-00, 022-1000-00, 022-5234-98) for direct replacement on compatible Bad Boy models.

Fitment & Compatibility

Check these before buying:

• Model fit: Confirmed for Bad Boy Outlaw, ZT, and Maverick series with 48", 54", or 60" decks. Not universal—verify your deck size and model year.
• OEM cross-reference: Replaces Bad Boy OEM part numbers 018-0010-00 (wheel), 022-1000-00 (bolt), and 022-5234-98 (hardware kit). If your original parts match these numbers, this set fits.
• Measurements: Wheel diameter is 4 inches, bolt length is 1.5 inches with a 5/16" thread. Measure your existing wheel and bolt to confirm before ordering.
• Deck clearance: Ensure your deck has the standard wheel mounting brackets—some older or non-Bad Boy decks may need adapters.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Made from durable plastic with a metal hub insert—holds up to normal use but may crack under heavy impact (e.g., hitting curbs or rocks repeatedly).
• Installation difficulty: Easy, 10-15 minute job. Requires a 1/2" socket or wrench to remove old bolts and install new ones. No special tools needed.
• Common gotcha: The bolt included is a carriage bolt with a square neck to lock into the bracket. If your bracket is worn or rounded, the bolt may spin during tightening—use a vice grip or replace the bracket.
• Packaging: Set includes four wheels and four bolts. If you need extra hardware (washers, lock nuts), buy separately—these aren’t included.

Should You Buy It

Yes, if you have a compatible Bad Boy zero-turn and need a budget-friendly, direct-fit replacement for worn or missing deck wheels. It’s a solid value at this price, but skip it if you need heavy-duty wheels for rough terrain or commercial use—consider steel or reinforced options instead.
