Honda Genuine OEM HRX217 (HRX217K5HYAA) (HRX217K5HZAA) (HRX217K5VKAA) (HRX217K5VLAA) (HRX217K5VYAA) Walk-Behind Lawn Mowers Rotary Blade Set

What It Is

This is a genuine OEM rotary blade set from Honda, designed specifically for the HRX217 walk-behind mower series (models K5HYAA, K5HZAA, K5VKAA, K5VLAA, K5VYAA). It delivers the factory-specified cutting performance and safety standards for residential lawn care.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower’s model number—it must be one of the five listed (e.g., HRX217K5HYAA). The blade set fits a 21-inch deck only. These are OEM blades, not aftermarket, so they guarantee exact bolt pattern, thickness, and balance. Measure your old blade’s length (approx. 21 inches) and center hole diameter (typically 1 inch) to verify. Do not assume fitment based on “HRX217” alone—check the full 10-character model suffix.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Honda OEM blades are heat-treated and balanced for longer life and cleaner cuts than most aftermarket options. Expect sharper edges out of the box.
• Installation: Moderate difficulty—requires a socket wrench and torque wrench (recommended 30–35 ft-lbs). Use thread-locker on bolts to prevent loosening. Always wear gloves.
• Gotcha: The blade set includes two blades (left and right) with specific orientation. The “up” arrow must face the deck; reversing them causes vibration and poor cutting.
• Maintenance: Sharpen or replace every 25–50 hours of use, or annually. Dull blades tear grass and stress the engine.

Should You Buy It

If you own one of the listed HRX217 models and want reliable, factory-spec cutting performance with no guesswork on fitment, this OEM blade set is the right choice. It’s ideal for homeowners who prioritize longevity and a clean finish over cheaper aftermarket alternatives.
