    Honda HRX217VKA after 6 years review

    thanks Cruzenmike for the info on your mower. I wish Honda would at least make this one a 22 inch or even make a 26 inch mower... I did some work on my mower since posting trying to get it to run better. It was running too rich and missing some. I removed and cleaned the carb with the...

    Honda HRX217VKA after 6 years review

    I bought this Honda in the spring of 2014 to replace my Toro personal Pace mower. The transmission died on the Toro so I got rid of it. I mow a lot starting in February mowing tall fescue at least weekly. I bag a lot as I like the look better than mulching. I do like being able to direct some...

    Help Honda HRX217 going in circles! Wheels do not point straight ahead....

    OK, my 3-4yr old HRX217 mower has always steered one way or another slightly making it hard to mow a long straight line. I checked it today and pushing it on my level garage floor in 20ft it had pulled 2ft to the right. I took my height adjusters off and took them to my dealer...he could not...

    Honda HRX mower would not pull backwards temporary solution

    My HRX217 mower would not pull backwards yesterday. I had done my semi annual maintenance (plug, filter, oil, blade sharpening) and blasted the bottom of the deck with my pressure washer. A week later I could not roll the mower backwards...AT ALL. Stuck, frozen. Knowing its been nearly 4 hard...

    A nieghbor gave this one to me. Its an older Snapper Ninja recycler with the Ninja blade. Has a nice 2 stroke Tecumseh 5 hp engine on it. I worked on it a couple years ago, but cant recall what I fixed on it. It was minor. It has been stored without fuel for a year or so. It ran good before he...

    Toro Super Recycler do I need the mulch plug????

    I just realized that on this used mower I got, I have no mulch plug...I see that one is available #59135. I saw one inserted into the bagger chute in a youtube video...Does it help a lot to use it? In the manual for my mower (a 1999 model) it never mentions the work mulch or mulch plug.... I...

    Toro Super recycler electric start need charger for it.

    I just picked up a beautiful older Toro Super Recycler with Personal Pace and electric start. I did not get the charger with it and the batteries are long dead. Does anyone have a picture of the charger label so I can see what volts/amps I need? The battery pack sits on top of the handle under...

    HRX217 mythical Blow out kit?

    I have had this mower for a couple years now. Always runs great and have no problems. I run it on ethanol free gas and run it dry in the winter time for storage. I do wish it would pickup or mulch leaves better, it wants to blow them out the sides. I have tall thick fescue. I wish it also had a...

    Anyone remove top blade for better bagging/mulching?

    I feel that I am not getting as good of a mulch cut with this double blade system. I wonder if the top blade is causing turbulence flattening out the grass before the bottom blade cuts it. Anyone removed the top blade? I get too many pieces of grass that popup after just mowing. This is my first...

    Buying Advice My recent experience bought an HRR then had to buy an HRX mower. HRR VS HRX

    So after 10 years with my Toro Personal pace mower, the transmission died. I could replace it but I wanted a new one. The Toro did a great job and I have thick, lush tall fescue that gets mowed every 5 days. It is sometimes wet with dew when I mow too. Well I went to a great ACE hardware that...
