I just got me a HRX217 from Do - Cut Warren, Ohio. They still have all the models left including the electric start. I got the basic one, for me lesser to go wrong in the future. I have a old 160 that has been used More like a brush hogging and still start first pull.

My 22 year old honda HRK 216 Hydrostat lawn mower is still going strong. I been debating with myself about purchasing last ones before they are gone. You might want to pick up some spare drive wheels to hold on too. Those rear drive wheels wear down I am on my 3rd pair over 22 years.
That’s good to know about the drive wheels! Thank you for sharing. I was already trying to think about what spare parts I may need to stockpile. Since this is my first time owning a self propelled mower, identifying the parts I may need in the future is a bit more challenging. Please like and subscribe! I plan to give updates on this mower.
I have the exact same model. This will be my third summer using it. You’ll likely need to adjust the control cables a few times as they do stretch a bit at first but other than that its a great mower.
I actually made a video regarding the problem and the stop sale. Here is the link: ruclips.net/video/CrVgwvMzYyo/видео.html Thanks for watching! Be sure to like and subscribe for updates on the camshaft issue.
Knowing the possibility of the camshaft issues I was wondering if you are at all worried about the machine breaking down or do you feel that it is a rare occurence ? Thanks for your clear set up instructions
Sure, no problem! As far as the camshaft issues that I discussed in one of my videos, I really think this is an isolated problem. While my machine has been fine up to this point, I hope that this issue has a resolution. Honestly, I would appreciate a recall and an extended warranty on my unit if it’s affected. My gut instinct tells me that this issue is a rare occurrence for Honda mowers. Obviously it could affect thousands of units but in the big scheme of things that is a small number in terms of all the units produced. Thanks for watching! Please like and subscribe for updates.
I live in Canada,I bought same lawnmower with key start was 1550$ total i am 64 soon thought this would be my last lawnmower got late in 2019 used couple times,loved it brought out 2020 when got to 5hrs of use did first oil change as per specs,brought out in 2021 no problems brought out in 2022 third time out had no more than 25 to 30hrs. Of use it suddenly exploded,big puff of smoke, brought to patio oil was pouring out hole like golf ball alittle smaller out of it took back to dealership where i bought it they were shocked,had never seen that and couldnt tell me what caused it,the tech called customer service for me but they said no goodwill he recommended I call I did in may, i got after awhile,no good will, i asked why,they said dealership said was from lack of lubrication/maintenance, i asked to speak to a supervisor to explain to me what i didnt do to make there top of the line lawnmower explode now waiting for another decision from same 5 person pamel that said no the first time its middle of july i still have no lawnmower,thank god i have a great neighbor whos been cutting it, ive given him some 100$ keg cards for his help,im praying they do something for me
I agree they may be complex, but I would think that’s to achieve longevity. I definitely see your point. Thanks for watching. Please like and subscribe for updates regarding this mower!
B&S Quantum was/is the best walk behind power. Got one built April 2000. Still okay. Stole it off a scrapped mower with loose blade /plugged air filter 12 years ago. My deck is a '84 Snapper HiVac.
I just had mine delivered Wednesday. Cant wait to get my first mow in with it.
Awesome! Enjoy! Please like and subscribe for more Honda lawnmower videos.

Thank you for the feedback. I heard that these units need cable adjustments from time to time. Please like and subscribe for updates.
For a 1 thousand dollar mower, its a shame it doesn't come with a GXV engine (like commercial unit) instead of a GCV engine.
I completely agree! The GXV models run forever! Thanks for watching. Please like and subscribe.
New service bulletin on these mowers. Camshaft defect. Be careful!
I can imagine the recoil on one that’s defective could cause a serious shoulder injury for someone not anticipating it.
Be sure to check out the latest problem with the valve train... These units are no in hold at the retail level.

Always heard these are great mowers. Is Honda getting out of the mower business?
I hope snapper never comes to an end?
Hopefully not! Snapper makes good products as well. Thank you for watching! Please like and subscribe for updates.
They are so overcomplicating that the Walmart mowers are better choice
