Honda Genuine 72511-VL0-S00 & 72531-VH7-000 Mower Blade Set

What It Is

This is a genuine Honda 2-blade set (Part #72511-VL0-S00 and #72531-VH7-000) designed specifically for select Honda HRX217 series mowers. It provides the factory-spec cutting and mulching performance for residential lawn care.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your mower model is on the compatibility list. This set fits Honda HRX217 models including HRX217HZA, HRX217HYA, HRX217K4VKA, HRX217K5VKA, HRX217K6VKA, HRX217K7VKA, and HRX217TDA. Do not assume it fits all HRX217 variants—check your model number on the mower’s sticker under the seat or near the engine. Deck size is 21 inches. These are OEM blades, not aftermarket, so no measurement or hole pattern guesswork is needed if your mower is listed. If you have a different Honda series (HRR, HRS, or other HRX models), this set will not fit.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Genuine Honda steel with a factory coating for rust resistance. Sharper out of the box than most aftermarket blades and hold an edge longer.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate. You’ll need a socket wrench and a block of wood to prevent blade spin. Torque bolts to 30-35 ft-lbs. No special tools required, but be careful not to overtighten.
• Common gotcha: These blades are designed for mulching and bagging, not for side-discharge-only use. If you primarily side-discharge, you may get a rougher cut.
• Pair note: The two blades are different (part numbers differ). Do not swap left/right positions—install each in its correct orientation as marked on the blade.

Should You Buy It

If you own a compatible HRX217 and want factory-grade cut quality, durability, and hassle-free fit, this is the right choice. It’s more expensive than aftermarket options, but the reliability and performance justify the cost for regular users who value a clean cut and long blade life.
