    I installed one of these on my HRX217 when it was new in 2017. It now has 89.9 hours on it. I love it! Makes timing of maintenance a breeze! Thanks for confirming that I’m not crazy!

    If you guys are scared about drilling into ur new mower like I was I used outdoor rated double sided tape. Worked just fine so far.

    The extra length wire is provided to remotely mount the indicator away from the heat, vibration and water when you wash off all the dirt, grit and grass off your engine and deck. I have an HRX217, electric start, adjustable throttle and speed control lever on the handle bar. When the engine is off it displays hours, when the engine is running it shows the RPM of the engine which is adjustable. I tell the person to set the rpm at what I determine. Too many operators run the mower almost at Idle speed if you let them.

    Ever hear of two sided tape? Then you dont have to drill into your new mower.

  • @jimquantic

    Another point of view here. I check the oil often, when it is not honey colored, that is, if it is dirty, I change it. And---I change it even if there "are not enough hours" to warrant a change. Turn it around, if the hours say it is time--but it is not dirty, I don't change it. A military mechanic taught me that, part of KISS, keep it simple stupid thinking. Dirty? Change it. clean, leave it alone. But, to each his own.

    Many have a feature that allows you to change the initial hour meter which means if the battery goes dead you can replace the battery without losing your runtime numbers. Of course you need to know what they were roughly before the battery died.

  • @SailingWindGypsy

    I thought this was pretty funny. My lawn mower is 33 years old and still working. The oil has never been changed! We put some gum out in it every now and then.

    It's not " has ran for." It's "has done ran for."

    I just got my HRX Honda and did a quick search on it and it led me here, was a little apprehensive about doing this to a brand spanking new mower ...but...no guts..no glory. Works like a charm. Stoked. Thanks for the vid.

    Just installed the NKTECH on my new Honda HRN and did the 30 minute oil change. Thank you for making these videos! Its my first brand new mower. Ive had hand me downs for the last 40 years of my life and I want to make sure I treat this one right. Already got extra oil, spark plugs, filters and sharpening kit, all ready for future maintenance.

  • @DIYAroundTheHome

    Super helpful video. Just installed the exact same product under different brand name from Amazon onto my new HRN216.

    Bought this and installed it on my Honda HRX217 mower yesterday. Even thought it's a different engine, the install instructions were exact and it works perfect. Thanks for the info.

  • @DjSerolmp

    I was just watching your video on the oil change on your honda216. And after watching it i thought "hey let me see how to add an hour meter." And your video popped up again. Your awesome man i really appriciate you

    I just installed an hour meter on my used John Deere JS46 push mower (which is an oddball itself, with electric start and pressurized oiling system with a tiny, spin-on filter--but I digress). Of course, I have no idea how many hours were accumulated by the previous two owners, but the meter will make keeping track of maintenance easy. The particular hour meter I selected also has a "job timer" function, which will be nice for keeping track of how long it takes to cut the 5 different areas I mow (I have a rough idea, of course, but I like to track that sort of thing). The meter also includes a tachometer function, which will be useful for checking the idle speed (since one of the previous owners messed with the governor spring bracket) but is probably not an essential feature.

    I'm definitely going to be adding one of these to every new machine I get! Makes me really wonder how many hours my old used GCV160 honda mowers have! I have 2 one I paid $40 for and the other I just paid $20 for. I bought both used actually all of my equipment is used besides my stihl trimmer I bought new. It would be interesting to see how many hours everything has!

    Just installed that hour meter on Ariens Platinum 30. Works great. Wanted it installed before i started using a new machine. Hard to believe a $2300 snow blower dorsnt come with one from the factory.

  • @Oldshirt7

    Thanks for that great demonstration on nkteck hour meter installation. The package lacked in details, but you explained it well.
