72531-VH7-000 & 72511-VH7-000 Lawn Mower Blade Compatiable with HRR216 K9 PKAA VKAA VLAA VYAA K10 K11 Rotary Mower HRX217,HRX217K2, HRX217K3, HRX217K4 Mower

What It Is

This is a set of two OEM-compatible lawn mower blades (part numbers 72531-VH7-000 and 72511-VH7-000) designed for Honda HRR216 and HRX217 series rotary mowers. They are intended for residential cutting of standard grass lawns.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your mower’s deck size (these blades fit 21-inch decks only). Confirm your specific model suffix: HRR216 K9, PKAA, VKAA, VLAA, VYAA, K10, or K11, and HRX217, HRX217K2, HRX217K3, or HRX217K4. These are aftermarket blades, not genuine Honda parts, so measure your existing blade length (approx. 21 inches) and center hole diameter (typically 1 inch) to confirm match. Check blade thickness (usually 0.125-0.150 inches) to ensure it fits your spindle.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Rated 5.0/5 from 3 reviews, suggesting good build and sharpness out of the box, but limited feedback means caution on long-term durability.
• Installation: Easy swap if you have a socket wrench and blade removal tool. Always disconnect spark plug and tip mower safely.
• Common Gotcha: These are not reversible; install with cutting edge facing the direction of rotation (usually marked on blade). Torque bolts to 35-45 ft-lbs to prevent loosening.
• Balance: Check blade balance after mounting; an unbalanced blade causes vibration and poor cut.

Should You Buy It

This is a solid budget-friendly option for DIY homeowners with the listed Honda HRR216 or HRX217 models who need a direct replacement for worn or dull blades. If you prefer genuine Honda parts or mow heavy, thick grass frequently, consider OEM for potentially longer life.
