I need a handful of Shear Pins, Husqvarna 55 41 09-01, for an old Rider 155 mower blades. Anyone have any idea as to where to buy those, for less than an arm and a leg?

They 'used' to be free with blades, but no more. And insanely expensive from Husqvarna dealers.

Or... I could use the complete blade set with pins, P/N 531 00 75-85, if they're priced reasonably.

Thanks for any leads.

Jim

I assume they are bolts as I don't know about that mower. If they are you might be able to find the grade and buy at any hardware store ect.

Ed, the hole size for the sheer pin are different for the shaft and the blade. The pin sort of sits in a little pocket. Here's a picture of one:

I've got a 1/4" Grade 3 bolt, but it'd take a lot of modifying to make it fit. Now... if I just still had my metal lathe, the problem wouldn't be a problem. But... if frogs could fly... :)

Hey - thanks HarleyRulz. I hadn't seen those specific pins listed, but I've seen others with prices ranging up around $3 each.

The shame of it all is that it's just a 1/2 inch piece of soft steel about like a camshaft alignment pin. "They" used to just throw in a few with every blade you bought. I don't know how many I've tossed in the garbage when I changed blades simply because they were rusty.
Now I wish I had all of those I've tossed! I suppose now I'll just have to suck it up and buy 'em.
Lesson Learned: Don't EVER throw anything away in the future :)
