72511-VH7-000+72531-VH7-000 Lawn Mower Blade Combination Suitable for Hon da HRR2169PKA, HRR2169VKA, HRR2169 VLA, HRR1169VYA, HRX217 HRX217K1, HRX217K2, HRX217C3, HRX2177K4 Lawn mowers。

What It Is

This is a two-blade combination set (part numbers 72511-VH7-000 and 72531-VH7-000) designed for Honda HRR216 and HRX217 series walk-behind mowers. It replaces OEM blades on 21-inch steel deck models, cutting grass with a standard lift and mulch/bag capability.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Deck size: Fits 21-inch cutting decks only. Measure your blade length (should be ~21 inches tip-to-tip) and center hole (usually a star or hex shape).
• Models confirmed: Honda HRR2169PKA, HRR2169VKA, HRR2169VLA, HRR1169VYA, HRX217K1, HRX217K2, HRX217C3, HRX217K4. Not for HRX217HYA (hydrostatic) or older HR214/HR215 decks.
• OEM vs aftermarket: These are aftermarket replacements for Honda OEM blade sets. Check that the offset and lift height match your original blades—especially on HRX models with a mulching plug.
• Measurement check: Verify blade thickness (typically 0.125–0.156 inches) and center hole diameter (usually 1 inch with a D-shape or star pattern). If your mower uses a single long blade, this set won’t fit.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: At $29.88 for a pair, this is a budget-friendly alternative to OEM Honda blades (~$40–50). Expect reasonable durability for residential use, but may dull faster on sandy or rocky lawns.
• Installation: Easy DIY job—requires a socket wrench (usually 15mm or 5/8-inch) and a blade removal tool or block of wood to prevent spinning. Torque bolts to 45–55 ft-lbs.
• Gotchas: Ensure the blades are balanced before installing. Unbalanced blades cause vibration and can damage the spindle. Also, verify the orientation—the curved side should face up toward the deck.
• Mulching vs bagging: These are standard lift blades. For dedicated mulching, you may need a different design (e.g., gator blades). Works well for bagging or side-discharge.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you have a compatible Honda HRR216 or HRX217 model and want a cost-effective replacement for worn OEM blades without sacrificing basic cutting performance. Skip it if you need high-lift for thick wet grass, a dedicated mulching blade, or OEM-grade longevity for heavy commercial use.
