Lawn Mower Blade 72511-VR8-M00 and 72531-VR8-M00 Compatible with Honda HRN216 HRN216VKA HRN216VKAA HRN216VLA HRN216VLAA HRN216PKA HRN216PKAA HRN216VYA HRN216VYAA 2 Packs

What It Is

This is a set of two replacement mulching blades (OEM part numbers 72511-VR8-M00 and 72531-VR8-M00) designed specifically for Honda HRN216 series walk-behind mowers. They cut grass and recirculate clippings for finer mulch.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your mower’s model number on the underside of the seat or near the engine shroud. These blades fit Honda HRN216VKA, HRN216VKAA, HRN216VLA, HRN216VLAA, HRN216PKA, HRN216PKAA, HRN216VYA, and HRN216VYAA models only. Do not use on HRN217 or other series. Each blade is approximately 21 inches long with a 1-inch center hole and a 90-degree offset. Measure your current blade length and hole size to confirm. These are OEM replacements, not aftermarket, so no modification needed.

Key Things to Know

• Blade orientation: The curved side (wing) must face upward toward the mower deck. Installing upside down will cause poor cut and vibration.
• Torque spec: Tighten the blade bolt to 30-35 ft-lbs. Over-tightening can strip the adapter; under-tightening risks blade detachment.
• Sharpness: Blades come pre-sharpened but dull quickly on sandy soil. Resharpen after 10-15 hours of use or replace annually.
• Balance: Always check blade balance after sharpening. An unbalanced blade will cause vibration and damage the spindle.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you own a Honda HRN216 model and want a direct OEM replacement that guarantees perfect fit and mulching performance. Skip it if you need a standard bagging or side-discharge blade—these are mulching-specific. For the price, it’s a solid value for maintaining factory-grade cut quality.
