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!!!
I love my mower but being single I need a little help in figuring things out on it. I need to see if maybe the belts have came loose or something. I have very hilly territory I mow and I rely on the all wheel drive to help me, a lot!!
