Description
Every fastener on your mower matters, and this little #10-24 nylon insert lock nut plays a bigger role than you might think. When you're bouncing across rough terrain or cutting through thick grass, vibration is constantly trying to shake things loose. This lock nut fights back with its orange nylon insert that grips the threads and keeps everything tight where it should be.
What You're Getting
- Self-locking nylon insert that prevents loosening under vibration and shock
- Zinc plating for corrosion protection against moisture and grass chemicals
- Fine #10-24 thread pitch provides strong holding power in smaller applications
- Bright orange nylon insert makes it easy to spot during maintenance checks
- Reusable design—you can take it off and put it back on multiple times
Built for Real Mower Work
This lock nut is designed specifically for Bad Boy mowers, where it secures everything from deck components to safety shields and attachment hardware. Whether you're running a compact utility mower around the farmyard or a big zero-turn across acres of grass, these nuts handle the constant vibration and impacts that come with cutting operations.
Made to Last
The zinc coating protects against rust and corrosion, which is crucial when you're dealing with wet grass, fertilizers, and chemicals. The nylon insert stays flexible through temperature changes and maintains its grip season after season, so you're not constantly retightening bolts.
Installation Notes
Thread it on by hand until the nylon insert engages, then use a wrench to finish tightening. You'll feel some resistance when the nylon grips—that's normal and exactly what you want. Don't over-torque it or you'll damage the insert. A quick tip: if you're replacing several of these during maintenance, the orange color makes it easy to see which ones you've already swapped out.
