r/HondaMowers

Kids are growing up so had to get them one each to prevent arguments!

What could be causing it to run rough? I just got this from someone that definitely did not look after it. Initially it started on 2 pulls. I’ve changed the oil and fuel and now it starts on first pull. I’ve been working since getting it so haven’t spent anymore time with. Planning on cleaning the carb when I get a chance. Anything else y’all would suggest?

Needs a tune up and maintenance, but she’s free.

Hello!

Just picked up my first ever mower.. went with an old hrr2167vka. It starts and runs fine it seems, but when I inspected the blade I noticed it was pretty worn out. Found replacements on the ol amazon of course, went to swap it out today and found that there is only one blade and the mounting pattern is incompatible with the new blades. Digging deeper it appears that my mower had been modified to use a single 21 inch mulching blade. Is this a common upgrade/downgrade or did someone hack this shit up 😂 I noticed they grinded off what appears to be the old mounting studs for the dual blade adapter?

I'm not holding onto it in the video

I hit a very hard plastic dog bone in the yard last week, and it blasted a hole through the body of my mower. Does anyone have any suggestions for repairing this? I’d really like to avoid replacing the entire body if possible.

Hi All

Can anyone help me identify model and year? Seller is asking 300.

Thank you!

I purchased my first Honda self propelled when they released the HR21 in 1978…I believe I paid $500 for it..Huge money for an 18yo starting his gardening business..I now 48 yrs later found myself in need of finding another Honda-my sixth, but this time for my personal use. This beauty with a vintage of 88-92 was owned by an old man and saw very little use…Im beaming..paid $350

This bothers me.. the mounting nut for the wheel bracket is very tight, and the axle bolt is properly tightened. The wheels wiggle a bit and are toe out.. my toro was like this and I just took wheel off and put the axle bolt back in and bent the mounting bracket then replaced the wheel and all was aligned. I dont want to do that to this with the bracket mounted to plastic.

Or are all like this?

Specifically something that could’ve come from an HRC216? It seems sort of like cheap plastic and I don’t recognize it from the parts diagrams, but I found it in my lawn, and my mower is the only equipment that I’ve had in my lawn recently. Of course, it could always have been trash blown in from the road as well, but it appears to be in fairly decent condition.

Just irked as to why there is rust buildup here, aren’t the steel and rust proof? The whole body even the axles are fine except here. Is it something I need to worry about? And how can I fix it?

I got this little Harmony last year and it ran great! This year there seems to be a short(?) as I get nothing when I turn the key (it has new battery). Just wondering if there is a way to check for shorts? Or any easy fixes… I’m not great diagnosing electronics on mowers, Thanks!
