06761-VG3-305 Rear Trail Shield Replacement Kit Fit for Honda HRR216,HRS216,HRT216 Lawn Mower Decks Replace 76118-VG3-020

What It Is

This rear trail shield kit (part 06761-VG3-305) is a replacement flap that mounts behind the mower deck to block debris from kicking back toward the operator. Designed for Honda HRR216, HRS216, and HRT216 series mowers, it’s a direct OEM replacement for the original 76118-VG3-020 part.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower model is one of the following: HRR216 (all variants), HRS216, or HRT216. This kit fits 21-inch deck sizes only. Check your current shield’s part number—if it’s 76118-VG3-020, this is a direct swap. Measure the mounting hole spacing (approx. 6.5 inches center-to-center) to verify. Not compatible with HRX, HRS215, or older HR214 decks. Aftermarket shields may require drilling, but this OEM kit uses existing holes.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: OEM Honda plastic; holds up well but can crack if overtightened or hit by rocks. Expected lifespan 2-3 seasons with normal use.
• Installation: Easy—remove two bolts, slide old shield out, slide new one in, reinstall bolts. No tools beyond a 10mm socket required. Takes 10 minutes.
• Common gotchas: The shield is directional; the curved lip must face downward toward the ground. Installing upside down won’t block debris. Use anti-seize on bolts to prevent rust seizure.
• Price point: At $17.88, it’s cheaper than buying OEM from a dealer (often $25+). Worth it for safety—worn shields can throw debris at your legs.

Should You Buy It

If your current rear shield is cracked, missing, or sagging, this is a no-brainer replacement. It’s an exact OEM fit for the listed Honda models, easy to install, and restores safe operation. Skip it only if your deck is heavily rusted or you need a universal shield for a non-Honda mower.
