What It Is

This is a replacement blade for Honda HRN216 mowers, designed to mulch, bag, or discharge grass clippings. It’s a direct OEM equivalent for the HRN216PKA and HRN216PKAA models, serial numbers MANA 1000001–9999999.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Deck size: 21-inch cutting deck (standard for HRN216 series). Measure your blade length to confirm – this blade is 21 inches tip-to-tip.
• Model check: Fits Honda HRN216PKA and HRN216PKAA only. Verify your mower’s model number on the sticker under the seat or on the deck.
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is an OEM Honda part (part #72511-VR8-M00). Aftermarket blades may be cheaper but may not match the exact air-lift profile or balance.
• Mounting hole: Center hole is 1-inch diameter with a 4-point star pattern. Ensure your spindle matches – most HRN216 spindles do.
• Serial range: Confirm your mower’s serial number falls within MANA 1000001–9999999. Outside that range, check for a different blade.

Key Things to Know

• Sharpness out of box: Blades ship unsharpened. You’ll need to sharpen before first use or install as-is for a dull cut.
• Installation difficulty: Easy – one bolt, no special tools. Torque to 30–40 ft-lbs (check your manual). Use thread locker if the bolt is worn.
• Common gotcha: The blade orientation matters – the curved edge should face upward toward the deck. Installing upside down will vibrate and cut poorly.
• Balance: Always balance the blade after sharpening. An unbalanced blade can damage your spindle and cause excessive vibration.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you own a Honda HRN216PKA or PKAA within the specified serial range and want a guaranteed fit with OEM quality. It’s ideal for homeowners who value reliability over saving a few dollars on aftermarket blades. Skip it if your mower is a different HRN216 variant or if you’re comfortable checking aftermarket blade specs for a lower price.
