After removing the blade and the BBC cover I could not locate a engine oil drain plug, where did they hide it?
When I tried replacing my blade this afternoon I found that the star pattern on the blade adapter was chewed down to a circle. As soon as I loosened the bolt holding the blade, a ton of metal shavings fell out. I started researching online just for the blade adapter part, but, soon found a bunch of articles and videos about an ongoing problem with these Husqvarna star shaped blade adapters (Here is a link to a video of one guy who has had this happen 3 times already: https://youtu.be/i-xsHg9NDMU?list=FLXLduZlZkFz0A9NovtN5-PQ). Some people even have the blade complete shear through the holding bolt and fly off. I'm just wondering if a simple fix would be to replace the star shaped adapter with a 2 pinned adapter? Any suggestions, recommendations for known third party (or even Husqvarna) adapters that will work on my HU800AWD?? Thanks in advance!!!
Been to all the sites including Husquvarna and no service manuals or owners manual show either the parts and / or how to install a replacement cable...which I already have?? Also want to replace the drive belt... also no info available on how to replace. Need asap, as grass is over due to mow now! Thanks!
