Attachments Honda HRX217HYA Deck Guard

baratta34 · Jan 6, 2013

Hey...I know these are standard on all Honda Commercial mowers, but wondering if anyone has put the stainless steel deck guard on their Honda residential mower (specifically the HRX series). THey are only $11-14, but I hate the fact you have to drill into the deck.

Thoughts? Anyone had experience good or bad?

Installing these don't compromise the integrity of the deck or effect the warranty. These guards were extensively tested by Honda and have been available for the HRX for many years. The steel is a very good grade stainless and should last forever.

I've seen bone-stock HRX mowers used by commercial operators and the decks were fine, but the wheels were shredded, due to scrubbing along curbs and sidewalks. Here are a couple with 150+ hours:

Since I push my mower to all of the houses, my tires are worn down on the part that touches the road and also the sides. They are really worn down....look at these pictures!

More on topic to the original question, I have been using mine commercially (the Honda HRX217HYA), and though the side of the deck has some scratches, it is very durable without the guards on it! :thumbsup:

As long as drilling the holes do NOT void the warranty I don't have a problem adding the gaurd rail kit. It's added protection to the deeck. I'm checking with mfg. first however.

I've seen the deck guards attached to an HRX217, and have used a few HRM215s. I know that if I were to have one in my fleet that I were to use regularly, I'd put those guards on mine.

Not to take away from this thread, but the shredded tires are mentioned. I just did a tire change on a set of HRT216 wheels using HR214 tires. Here's how I did it.
