    Non-commercial walk-behind w 5" mowing height?

    Are there any walk-behind self-propelled mowers which allow for a cutting height up to 5"? 4.5" might do, but I'd like more range than most seem to offer. My St. Augustine sod likes to be higher than most mowers allow, particularly shady areas. Any mower recommendations here? I've seen a...

    Best HRT216SDA Blade for St. Agustine Grass?

    My Honda Harmony II HRT216SDA operates well. I just re-sodded my lawn with St. Augustine. From my boyhood recollection and online research, this grass is best cut with as sharp a blade as possible. Other factors are probably relevant. I plan to bag clippings, as mulch build-up is a St. Augustine...

    Stretched Clutch Cable on HRT216 SDA?

    S/N MZCG6133955 KC Bought only last year with known bad transmission. Engine is great. Replaced transmission with a new one and it worked great for a few months, then the clutch cable developed slack and I find no way to adjust the tension. One thread gives directions for doing so but my cable...

    HRT216 Transmission Cross-compatability?

    Is there reason to think that a transmission for an HRT216K1SDA would fit my HRT216SDA? or does anyone KNOW with certainty it won't fit (I can GUESS as wildly as anyone...)? Part for the later "K1" variant (20001-VG4-C02) is about $50, and looks like it has a plastic pulley. The part for mine...

    Repairs HRT 216 SDA Transmission Diagnosis/Repair/Replace?

    I purchased this mower knowing that the self-propulsion didn't work. I removed the pinion gears, ratchet keys, and springs, and just used it as a push mower. It's in great shape but for the transmission. I decided to see if I could trouble shoot it. When I engage the drive pulley (which seems...

    Walk behind Disconnecting Transmission on HRT216SDA

    I just bought a used HRT216SDA w non-working transmission but otherwise great condition. I don't want to repair it just yet, just disconnect it so the mower pushes and pulls freely without engaging any of the transmission gears. Looking at repair videos, it seems simple enough to remove the...
