72511-VR8-M00A Lawn Mower Blades - Replacement Blades for HRN 216 & HRN216 Mowers, Compatible with Lawn Mower Blades 72511-VR8-M00

What It Is

This is a set of replacement mower blades designed specifically for Honda HRN216 (HRN 216) walk-behind mowers. They match the OEM part number 72511-VR8-M00A and are intended for cutting grass on residential lawns.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower deck size—these blades fit the 21-inch deck on HRN216 models only. Check your model number on the mower’s serial tag; this part is not compatible with HRX, HRC, or other Honda series. The blade length is 21 inches, with a 3-point star center hole and a 1-inch blade offset. If you’re replacing OEM blades, these are a direct aftermarket match—no adapters or modifications needed. Measure your existing blade’s length and hole pattern to verify.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Made from heat-treated steel, similar to OEM. Expect a sharp edge out of the box, but some users report slightly less durability than genuine Honda blades.
• Installation: Simple bolt-on job. Use a socket wrench to remove the blade bolt (left-hand thread on Honda mowers—turn clockwise to loosen). Torque to about 30-40 ft-lbs when reinstalling.
• Common Gotcha: These blades are not designed for mulching or bagging with a dedicated kit—they’re standard 2-in-1 blades (side discharge and rear bag). If you need a mulching blade, look for the 72511-VR8-M00Z version.
• Balance: Check blade balance after installation. A $10 blade balancer helps avoid vibration and uneven cuts.

Should You Buy It

If you own a Honda HRN216 and want a reliable, budget-friendly replacement for standard cutting, this is a solid pick. It’s not the toughest option for heavy-duty or commercial use, but for regular residential mowing, it performs well and saves money over OEM. Skip it if you need mulching capability or a premium long-life blade.
