I broke down and purchased an HRN216VKA from Home Depot. It has the green dot on the box next to the serial #. The HRN is a much better mower than the HRR to me. I forgot what was like to have a mower that did what is was supposed to do! It starts with a gentle pull and runs well. It seems to...

Also, if I limp the mower along and keep it "working". In a couple of years when I can ready for a new mower, will Honda even be an option other than used mower?

I have not replaced the wheels. The tread is pretty bald by now. I have thought about just replacing everything in the drive one last time. Everything except the axles. I might get a year or two out of that. But it would probably cost about $125 or more to do it. I don't mind tinkering with...

Something could be bent with the adjuster or deck. That would make more sense. The right side from the rear is usually the problem child. It chews up pinion gears and soon the mower is pushing to the right like the left side is pushing the mower more. My back yard used to have a fall off and...

After struggling a few years with my HRR216, I think I am ready to call it a lost cause. I replaced the plastic bushings with the bronze bushings, but it still chews up pinion gears and I have to work on it about once every 6 weeks. My grass is thick and it pulls to one side and has reduced...

I followed the advise on this thread Can't pull mower backwards McMaster Carr Part# 6391K214 .625" OD x .500" ID x .75" long. 2 bushings for each side. I just placed them inside the adjuster and it works smoothly. I did not epoxy them in place. I do think a small hose clamp would hold the...

Update... I replaced the plastic bushings in adjuster with oilite bronze bushing from McMaster Carr on the right side only. I also replace the pinion gear, washers and collars. All of the work was done on the right side only. I lubricated everything with bearing grease. The only issue is...

Another update. The adjusting arm for the right wheel has a lot of play in it. The adjusting arm for the left wheel has no wiggle at all. I guess the bushings in it are worn. Is this hard to change? Can I change just the bushings or is it best to go ahead and change everything while I am at...

This evening, with the new pinion gear on the right wheel. I pushed the mower on flat concrete. It steers right. I swapped the two rear wheels and wheel shafts and pushed on flat concrete. It steers right. I started the mower and let it drive on concrete, it steers right. I lifted the front...

I tried to do a search on this but didn't find anything. My Honda HRR216 self propelled pulls to the right while I am using the self propel. I had this issue last November (and the mower would not pull in reverse) and took it in for service. I was told that pinion gear had not been...
