SaidiCo HRC216 Commercial Mower Back Drive Wheel Compatible with Honda 42700-VK6-020ZA 2-pack

What It Is

This is a 2-pack of back drive wheels for Honda HRC216 commercial walk-behind mowers. Designed for heavy-duty mowing, these wheels drive the rear axle on self-propelled models, handling turf contact and traction under load.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Direct fit for: Honda HRC216K3, K4, K5, K6, K7, and K8 models (both HXA and VKA variants). Also fits HRC2162, HRC2163, and HRC2165 series.
• OEM cross-reference: Replaces Honda part number 42700-VK6-020ZA. Confirm your mower’s OEM wheel part number matches this before purchasing.
• Measurements: Wheel diameter is 8 inches; axle hole is 5/8 inch. Tire width is approximately 2 inches. Verify these match your mower’s existing back wheel.
• What to check: Look for the model number on your mower’s frame plate (under the seat or near the engine). If your mower uses a different rear axle size (e.g., 3/4 inch), this wheel won’t fit. Not for HRC215 or non-Honda mowers.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: SaidiCo is an aftermarket brand. Reviews note good tread durability, but some users report slightly softer rubber than OEM Honda wheels. Expect 2-3 seasons under heavy commercial use.
• Installation: Simple bolt-on replacement—remove the cotter pin, slide off the old wheel, slide on the new one, and re-pin. No special tools needed. Torque axle nut to 30-35 ft-lbs if applicable.
• Common gotcha: The wheel’s inner bushing may be snug on older axles. Lightly sand the axle if it’s rusted or pitted. Also, check that the drive pin aligns with the wheel hub slot—misalignment causes slipping.
• Pack includes: Two wheels with pre-installed bearings and tires. No hardware (cotter pins or washers) included—reuse your originals.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you own a Honda HRC216 commercial mower and need a cost-effective replacement for worn back wheels. It’s a solid aftermarket option that saves about 30% vs. OEM, with good reviews for fit and function. Skip it if you want OEM-grade rubber longevity or if your mower uses a non-standard axle size—stick with genuine Honda for those.
