What It Is

This is a three-piece replacement kit combining a 21-inch lawn mower blade with a BPR5ES spark plug and a 17211-Z8B-901 air filter. Designed primarily for Honda HRN 216 and HRN216 series mowers, it serves as a tune-up bundle for routine maintenance and blade sharpening.

Fitment & Compatibility

  • Deck size: Only fits 21-inch cutting decks—measure your blade length before buying.
  • Model compatibility: Confirmed for Honda HRN 216 and HRN216 models. Not guaranteed for other brands or older Honda series (e.g., HRX, HRS).
  • OEM vs aftermarket: This is an aftermarket set. The blade part number 72511-VR8-M00A matches OEM specs, but the spark plug and air filter are generic equivalents (check Honda’s OEM plug is NGK BPR5ES, which this matches).
  • What to check: Verify your mower uses a 17211-Z8B-901 air filter (pull the old one to compare). The spark plug gap should be set to 0.028–0.031 inches before installing.

Key Things to Know

  • Quality: Blades are basic stamped steel—good for residential use, but not as durable as OEM or high-carbon aftermarket blades. Expect to sharpen more often.
  • Installation difficulty: Easy—requires a socket wrench and a torque wrench (blade bolt torque: 35–45 ft-lbs). The spark plug and air filter swap in under 10 minutes.
  • Common gotcha: The blade may have a different center hole shape than some aftermarket universal blades. Confirm it’s a standard 5-point star or hex hole (Honda uses a specific pattern).
  • Kit value: Buying separately costs slightly less, but this bundle saves a trip to the store if you need all three parts now.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you own a Honda HRN 216 mower and want a quick, budget-friendly tune-up kit for a single season of light-to-medium use. Skip it if you need commercial-grade durability or have a different mower brand—fitment is narrow and the blade won’t last as long as OEM.
