Belleone High-Lift Mulching Mower Blades for 54" Bad Boy & Outlaw Decks — 6-Pack, 18-3/4" x 2.5", OEM Fit

Belleone 038-0005-00 high-lift mulching blades are a six-pack of direct-replacement, heavy-duty mower blades engineered to restore cutting performance on 54" Bad Boy and compatible Outlaw ZT/CZT decks.

These blades are built to match OEM fit and lift characteristics for select Bad Boy MZ and CZT 54-inch rotary decks as well as related Outlaw ZT, Maverick, Avenger and Revolt models. Precision punched center holes and a diagonal length of 18-3/4" make them a drop-in option for decks calling for part numbers like 15-15112 or replacing Belleone references 038-0001-00 and 038-0002-00. The high-lift profile helps create airflow for cleaner bagging and finer clippings when used for mulching or discharge duties.

Which mower models and part numbers do these blades replace?

These Belleone blades are intended to replace specific OEM and aftermarket references for 54" decks. Check your deck manual or existing blade stamping to confirm compatibility before ordering.

• Direct replacement for OEM 15-15112 and Belleone 038-0001-00 / 038-0002-00 references.
• Compatible with Bad Boy CZT 5400 54" models with Briggs and Kawasaki engines.
• Fits Bad Boy MZ Magnum 54" rotary deck configurations.
• Also suitable for Outlaw ZT, Maverick, Avenger and Revolt 54" applications with the same mounting pattern.

What are the exact dimensions and mounting details?

Understanding measurements prevents purchase mistakes; the blade length is measured diagonally from tip to tip. The thickness and center-hole sizing match common 54" deck fastenings for a secure fit when installed with factory hardware.

• Diagonal length: 18-3/4" (measured tip to tip).
• Cutting width at widest point: 2-1/2".
• Material thickness: 0.204" for durability and resistance to bending.
• Center-hole circle: 5/8" to match standard spindle bolts on compatible decks.

How does the high-lift mulching profile affect cutting and collection?

The high-lift design increases airflow under the deck to lift grass blades before cutting, improving bag fill, lift for a cleaner cut, and the ability to finely mulch clippings when mulching kits are used. This profile can increase suction, so ensure your deck and bag/deflector setup are intended for high-lift blades.

• Creates stronger airflow for better bagging and discharge performance.
• Sculpts clippings into smaller pieces for effective mulching with compatible deck setups.
• Blade edge geometry reduces splash and can lower perceived cutting noise.
• Regular sharpening preserves the intended lift and cut quality.

What maintenance and safety checks should I follow after installation?

Routine inspection and simple maintenance extend blade life and protect your mower. Balanced, sharp blades cut more efficiently and reduce wear on spindle bearings and engine components.

• Check blade balance after honing; an unbalanced blade causes vibration and premature wear.
• Inspect for nicks, bends, or heat discoloration; replace blades showing damage.
• Let blades cool naturally after heavy use to avoid heat-related weakening.
• Tighten mounting bolts to manufacturer torque specs and recheck after first hour of use.

Who is this for: These Belleone 038-0005-00 blades are aimed at owners of 54" Bad Boy and compatible Outlaw-series zero-turn mowers who need a reliable OEM-style replacement to restore lift, improve bagging or enable mulching. They suit homeowners, landscapers and fleet operators seeking a six-pack of matched blades for seasonal service or on-site maintenance, provided the blade measurements and center-hole pattern match the deck's requirements.
