Genuine OEM Blade Holder with Bearing Compatible with Honda HR214, HR215, HRC215, HRC216 Mowers 91102-VA4-013, 72610-VA4-000

What It Is

This is a genuine OEM blade holder assembly with an integrated bearing, designed for the blade brake clutch (BBC) system on select Honda walk-behind mowers. It supports and spins the blade while allowing the engine to run when the blade is disengaged.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower model is one of these: Honda HR214, HR215, HRC215, or HRC216. Check your deck size—this fits 21-inch decks with a blade brake clutch. The OEM part numbers are 91102-VA4-013 (blade holder) and 72610-VA4-000 (bearing assembly). It replaces the factory part only; aftermarket or universal blade holders won’t work with the BBC system. Measure the blade bolt pattern (usually a 4-point star) and ensure the bearing is not seized before installation.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Genuine Honda OEM—exact fit, no modifications needed. The bearing is pre-installed and sealed, lasting longer than aftermarket copies.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate. You’ll need a socket set, a torque wrench, and possibly a puller to remove the old holder. Expect 30-60 minutes.
• Common gotcha: The bearing is not serviceable—if it fails, you replace the entire holder assembly. Check the blade adapter and drive belt condition while you’re in there.
• Safety: Disconnect the spark plug before working. The blade holder bolts to a clutch assembly—torque to spec (usually 35-45 ft-lbs, check your manual).

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you own a Honda HR214, HR215, HRC215, or HRC216 with a blade brake clutch and your current holder is worn, noisy, or the blade wobbles. It’s the only correct part for a safe, reliable fix—skip aftermarket options that risk poor fit or early failure.
