What It Is

This is a set of OEM Honda replacement blades designed for 21-inch walk-behind mowers with GCV160 engines, including Honda HRR216, HRN216, and HRX217 series models. It replaces part numbers 72511-VL0-S00 and 72531-VH7-000.

Fitment & Compatibility

Check your deck size – these blades fit only 21-inch cutting decks. Confirm your model number – compatible with HRR216VKA, HRR2169VYA, HRR216k10VKAA, HRR216k9VKAA, HRN216, and HRX217 series. OEM vs aftermarket – these are genuine Honda blades, not generic copies. Measure blade length – should be approximately 21 inches end-to-end. Verify center hole size (usually 1-inch) and offset matches your current blade. Engine note – works with GCV160 engines specifically; double-check your mower’s engine model before purchase.

Key Things to Know

• Quality – OEM blades offer consistent steel hardness and balance; aftermarket may dull faster or cause vibration.
• Installation – moderate difficulty; requires a socket wrench and blade removal tool (or block the blade). Torque to 30-40 ft-lbs.
• Common gotcha – the single review rating (3.0/5) suggests possible fitment issues or dullness out of box. Inspect blade edge immediately.
• Set includes – two blades (standard for Honda 21-inch dual-blade decks). Check if your mower uses one or two blades before ordering.

Should You Buy It

Buy these if you need exact OEM replacement for your Honda HRR216 or HRX217 with a GCV160 engine and want guaranteed fit. Skip them if you’re on a budget or need a premium mulching blade – consider aftermarket options (like Oregon or MaxPower) for better value or specialized cutting patterns.
