GENUINE OEM HONDA (HRN216VKA) (HRN216VLA) (HRN216VYA) (HRN216VKAA) (HRN216VLAA) (HRN216VYAA) Walk-Behind Lawn Mowers REAR DRIVE WHEEL

What It Is

This is a genuine OEM Honda rear drive wheel for select HRN216 walk-behind mowers. It provides traction and propulsion on the drive side of the mower, specifically for self-propelled models.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower’s model number exactly matches one of these: HRN216VKA, HRN216VLA, HRN216VYA, HRN216VKAA, HRN216VLAA, or HRN216VYAA. This wheel fits the rear drive side only—it will not work on the front or on non-drive rear axles. Check that your mower has a 7-inch diameter wheel with a specific hub pattern designed for Honda’s self-propelled system. If your wheel is cracked, stripped, or the tire is worn smooth, this is the correct replacement. Aftermarket wheels may differ in hub depth or material; OEM ensures exact fit.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Genuine Honda part—durable plastic hub with a rubber tire. Expect long life under normal use.
• Installation: Easy—remove the hairpin clip and washer, slide the old wheel off, slide the new one on, and reinstall the washer and clip. No tools needed beyond maybe a flathead screwdriver for the clip.
• Common gotcha: The drive wheel has an internal gear or spline that engages the transmission. If the mower rolls but doesn’t self-propel, the wheel hub may be stripped—this replacement fixes that.
• Price vs. value: At $21.95, it’s more than a generic wheel, but it avoids fitment headaches and premature failure common with cheap alternatives.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you own one of the listed HRN216 mowers and need a direct, no-guesswork replacement for a worn, cracked, or stripped rear drive wheel. It’s the right choice for anyone who wants OEM reliability and simple installation without modifying parts. Skip it if you’re looking for a non-drive (front) wheel or a cheaper aftermarket option—though expect potential fit issues.
