I have a Husqvarna mower with 24hp Intek V-twin that has 118 hrs and 3 years old. Recently it began emitting blue smoke, barely noticeable at first but has started to get increasingly worse to the point a blue cloud hangs around while I'm mowing. Any ideas on probable trouble and repairs?

Either the oil level in the sump is too high or you have quite serious cylinder and piston wear.
