Oil Pressure Gauge Mount for Bad Boy ZT Mowers

Running an older Bad Boy zero-turn without any way to monitor oil pressure is a gamble every time you fire it up. This gauge mount gives your Briggs engine a proper home for an oil pressure gauge — secured to the transmission cover hand nut so it sits firmly in place, out of harm's way, and readable from the operator seat.

How it solves the problem

The Bad Boy ZT has almost nowhere sensible to mount a gauge. Bolt it to something exposed and it gets knocked around. Zip-tie it loosely and it bounces until it breaks. This mount threads directly onto one of the existing hand nuts on the transmission cover — no drilling, no welding, no fabrication work on your part. It uses what's already there.

• Attaches to the transmission cover hand nut — no new holes
• Holds the gauge securely even over rough terrain
• Keeps the gauge face visible without leaning over the engine bay
• Compatible with standard capillary tube oil pressure gauges
• Works on older Bad Boy ZT models with 26hp Briggs engines

The setup

Fit the mount to the hand nut, route your capillary tube along the frame — a short sleeve of vacuum hose over the tube protects it nicely — and anchor it down with a couple of adhesive zip tie mounts. The whole install is straightforward and reversible if you ever need to pull the transmission cover for service.

If you've been putting off adding an oil pressure gauge because there was nowhere decent to put one, this is the part that finally makes it practical. Keep an eye on your engine, catch pressure problems before they become expensive ones, and stop guessing every time the Briggs starts to sound a little off.

Built for the job

Designed specifically around the hand nut mounting point found on Bad Boy ZT mowers, this isn't a generic bracket bent to fit — it's purpose-built for this exact application. Solid construction, practical geometry, and no wasted complexity. You unbox it, fit it, and move on.
