We’ll my opinion is you have 2 choices. Fix the hr214 for $700.00. Great mower yes one of the best ever made. Or. Buy a new Honda hrc216hxa. Hydrost transmission blade brake clutch. Heavier duty deck handle bar and supports stronger engine. Bigger wheels 9” vs 8”. Hydro trans is butter...

Hello. I have and have had a lot of Honda lawn mowers. to answer your question. The current hrx216 hrr216 hrn216. they do not make a tradition rear/ left side discharge chute. You basically put it on BAG setting and let it discharge directly out the rear in front of your feet. It works...

Look in maintenance section of your manual. Every 100 hours take apart and clean ratchets and associated parts clean and grease nlgi#2. Or just get Honda marine grease. Every 150 hours manual says take apart height adjusters from deck. Clean and grease and put back together. Personally I do...

I’m not sure where you are but I have seen some of the Hondas in uk and Australia. Definitely similar in some ways and very different in other ways. I don’t have a problem with how ours are set up. Single height would be pretty cool. Even a 2 way would be neat like the hrn216. I actually...

The new 2 way ratchet system on the drive. When you release the drive bar a key In the drive allows the rear wheels to freewheel in forward and reverse

If I recall looking at one. The 2 way ratchet system is just different and not set up the same as hrx or hrr. Again look at a parts breakdown. It’s hard for me to explain typing it without pictures. Put it this way. You won’t find a complaint about it online or anywhere having any drag...

The set up is completely different. Look at parts breakdown on Honda power equipment website. Or look at pictures. You’ll see. Go to a dealer and see for yourself. Huge difference.

Hi. I hope I can help. Yes the hrr216 was a problem with the rear wheels locking up and dragging even new in the showroom floor The new (since 2019) honda hrn216 models are set up different in the rear. Literally they will roll forward or backwards on a 1 degree hill either way. No b.s...

Need the numbers after that letters MAKA. For the serial number. Btw. You must be in Canada. It’s the C in hxc. Canada market.

Her are a few suggestions. Make sure blades are sharp and the end of the blades are NOT rounded at all. The outside 1” of the blade tip does most of the work. Blade sharpening angle 30 degrees. Make sure rpm on engine is at least to specs. 3,100 +/- 50 RPMwith blades spinning. Deck clean...

Hi. If that is YOUR actual hrc216hxa K3 model. You have to look up the model and serial number. Then go to cutter housing (the mower deck picture) and look very top right. Part is cheap like under $12.00 usd. All over the web for sale. They did come with the mowers when purchased new at...

If your cutting weekly grass if that’s at your own house or weekly I would get the hht25sltat. Reasons being. It’s lighter and still has plenty of power. If you have very high grass on several acres and cut every other week or more then I’d would get the hht35sltat. More power but yes...

i got my in-laws a hrx217vka last year and 8 use it all the time until they move back soon permanentl. Very nice and simple. Transmission is very simple and basic and no throttle cable to deal with. Pulls backwards just fine and can adjust the speed very small or large increments very easily...
