BeadChica GCV160 Blade Compatible with Honda HRN216 HRX217 HRR2169VKA HRR216VKA,72511-VH7-000 & 72531-VH7-000 Push Mower Blades Replacement Parts

What It Is

This is a replacement mower blade set for select Honda push mowers, designed for standard residential lawn cutting. It fits models with GCV160 engines and replaces OEM parts 72511-VH7-000 and 72531-VH7-000.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower’s deck size (21-inch) and that it uses a single-blade design with a center hole and two offset mounting holes (not a star or keyed pattern). Compatible models include HRN216, HRX217, HRR2169VKA, and HRR216VKA. This blade will not fit Honda mowers with GCV190 engines, self-propelled models like HRR216K9, or any mower with a 20-inch or 22-inch deck. Also check that your mower uses the two-hole bolt pattern—some newer HRX models use a different mount. Measure your old blade’s length (21 inches) and center hole diameter (typically 1 inch) to verify.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Made from hardened steel but not OEM Honda; some users report slightly thinner material. Expect a shorter lifespan than factory blades on rough terrain.
• Installation: Straightforward—remove the old blade, clean the spindle, and bolt on the new one. Torque to 30-40 ft-lbs (check your manual). Use thread locker if vibration is a concern.
• Balance: Check blade balance after installation by hanging it on a nail. An unbalanced blade causes vibration and poor cut.
• Sharpening: Can be sharpened like OEM blades, but the edge may not hold as long. Replace when dull or nicked.

Should You Buy It

This is a solid budget-friendly option if you own one of the listed Honda models and want a quick replacement without paying OEM prices. It works well for average lawn care but may wear faster in heavy or rocky conditions. For commercial use or frequent mowing, stick with Honda factory blades.
