r/HondaMowers

My brother in law burnt out some deck guards for me. Made them from 14ga stainless. Wish they were put on when mower was new.

Is it normal for the blade stop (orange lever) models self propel to feel slower than the ones with the dial? I’ve had HRXVKA in the past and you’re practically running when you turn up the self propel speed.

I just bought this HYA model second hand, and when I have the orange lever all the way down, i’m at a walking pace.

Is this normal or is there something up with the mower?

Take a guess as to what I got this nicely running HRX217 for? Along with the pull behind sprayer for the acreage. In Canada

This blade has seen things

Just got done fixing up an older Masters series Honda with key start. It was fun to work on. Got a new battery for it and everything works as intended. Hard to beat a master’s mower with key start, hydrostatic transmission, and the dual blades. Really is the king of mowers!

Unfortunately the previous owners let it sit outside for a long time, so the plastic is all faded.

Need some help diagnosing my HRX 217. Mowing my lawn the other day and it died. Not like a sputter or slowly turned off. Just suddenly stopped. I didn’t hit anything.

Trying to restart and nothing, kinda sounds different as well. I replaced the ignition kill switch thinking that may be may bad. Not seeing a spark still I replaced the ignition coil. Still no spark, best I can tell. I have a new plug coming but the current one is only about a year old and is a NGK plug.

Has gas and getting gas to the carb and cylinder.

Is it possible to have valve issues on these? I am not sure what else to look for. Putting my finger to the spark plug hole and don’t feel a lot of compression.

Hello!

Just picked up my first ever mower.. went with an old hrr2167vka. It starts and runs fine it seems, but when I inspected the blade I noticed it was pretty worn out. Found replacements on the ol amazon of course, went to swap it out today and found that there is only one blade and the mounting pattern is incompatible with the new blades. Digging deeper it appears that my mower had been modified to use a single 21 inch mulching blade. Is this a common upgrade/downgrade or did someone hack this shit up 😂 I noticed they grinded off what appears to be the old mounting studs for the dual blade adapter?

Kids are growing up so had to get them one each to prevent arguments!

Can anyone tell me what i should be getting? I assume the ones marked upper#5 and lower#3, but what is the "optional" blade #4? Can 3 blades be installed together? Thanks

Needs a tune up and maintenance, but she’s free.

What could be causing it to run rough? I just got this from someone that definitely did not look after it. Initially it started on 2 pulls. I’ve changed the oil and fuel and now it starts on first pull. I’ve been working since getting it so haven’t spent anymore time with. Planning on cleaning the carb when I get a chance. Anything else y’all would suggest?

Hi All

Can anyone help me identify model and year? Seller is asking 300.

Thank you!

Specifically something that could’ve come from an HRC216? It seems sort of like cheap plastic and I don’t recognize it from the parts diagrams, but I found it in my lawn, and my mower is the only equipment that I’ve had in my lawn recently. Of course, it could always have been trash blown in from the road as well, but it appears to be in fairly decent condition.

Just irked as to why there is rust buildup here, aren’t the steel and rust proof? The whole body even the axles are fine except here. Is it something I need to worry about? And how can I fix it?
