I have two HR214SXA mowers (love 'em) and I am looking for some history (when mfg'd, where first delivered, etc.) on them. Thanks in advance for any help.

S/N's are:

6027898
6023809

Sorry, but my database of searchable serial numbers does not include either of these. Probably in some file cabinet or storage room at the factory is a 3 x 5 card with all the details, but no way for me to get it.

I can tell you all HR214 engines were made in Japan, and some of the SXA types were made there and others at Honda plant in North Carolina

Robert,

I appreciate the reply. Based on your experience, would you say these S/N's are closer to the beginning of the production range (1984) or the closer to the end (1989) for the HR214.

I bought my HR214 SXA from a Honda dealer in Spring of 1985. It's SER. NO. 1089778 if that's any help.

Kinda hard to say, as this model was built at two different plants, and so serial numbers don't always follow logical rules. Worse yet, some models would be built, sit in warehouses for months, sit in dealer showrooms for more months, etc. before being sold. Others would get built, shipped, invoiced and sold in 30 days or less.
