Hi guys! I know this is three years later but I just found your posts. I have been using a Rider 16 H (precursor to the 155) for 4 years now and mowing 1.5 acres. I also love it and have had no problems at all with about 200 hours on it. I have gone through some blades because of hitting things and living in SC means that I cut sand which eats up my blades. I see where Jim lives in SC and buys his blades at Lowes.
I have not been able to get blades at Lowes and would like to because my Husky dealer charges me $55.00 for a set.
I have made some alterations on mine such as a hose vent on the transmission oil vent and fuel cap vent to help keep the mower cleaner and a larger seat for comfort. My mower was not adjusted properly when I received it and it took me a while to figure out that things were binding and had a potential to malfunction. After adjusting everything especially the deck, everything worked perfect after that with no stress on cables bushings etc.
The only thing that I don’t like about mine is that it has a Briggs & Stratton engine and it is low on power but they wanted $1000,00 more for the larger engine and I just didn’t have the money. Unfortunately I use Mobil 1 oil and change it every 25 hours, so I don’t think my engine is going to break giving me the excuse to get a larger engine installed.
Do you have the part numbers that Lowes uses for the blades? If so that would be great. Jim, if you read this, I live in the Myrtle Beach area.
Your Husky friend
