How to Level the Deck on a Bad Boy Mower - Bad Boy Maverick
I took the time tonight to go ahead and level the cutting deck on my Bad Boy Maverick. I had noticed some uneven cutting, even after making sure my tires were all at the same pressure, so this was the next step. This was a pretty easy process. The only tools you need are some blocking materials, and a couple wrenches.

I really enjoy your videos. My favorite push mower is a Lawnboy 21" with a magnesium deck from the 1980s. It has offset wheels making turns easier and better edging. It will also bag grass perfectly. I have had mine since 1985. What you do is find a Lawnboy mower for its deck. Then you place a briggs and stratton engine on it. Now you have the best push mower in the world with little cost that will last a lifetime. I would send you a picture of mine, but I don't know how to do that. Good luck and keep up the great videos.

Good deal! Glad it was helpful!
Looks like you made all sides of deck same height. But I just bought a Maverick Hd and my owners manual says front of deck should be 1/4 lower than back of deck. 🤷🏼♂️

thats is correct, the frt. is always to be a bit lower, some manufacturers say 1/2 inch

Thanks for the heads up. I’ll have to go back and make that adjustment.
Like the other guy said, check your service manual. My bad boy is supposed to be 1/4 inch higher in the rear of the deck than the front. Gauge your deck height off the front, then raise the rear by 1/4" is what mine said to do.

Thank you. I went back and corrected it.
Do you ever adjust the deck belt tension on deck? If so do you have a video? Seems my belt keeps getting loose and deck belt not as tight as should be

I try to keep mine clean by blowing or hosing it off after every cut, and scraping the underside after every few cuts. Make sure to get and wet clumps of grass off of it before you put it away.
