Description
Overview:
This Genuine Honda ratchet spring is a small but critical drive component for Honda HRN216 lawn mowers, including the HRN216 VKA and HRN216 VLA. Made from tempered spring steel for consistent tension and durability, it helps engage and maintain the mower's self‐propelled drive, supporting smooth start-up and reliable forward motion. As an OEM part (OEM No. 42668-VR8-N00), it is built to Honda's specification for fit and performance, reducing the risk of premature wear or poor drive engagement. Ideal for both trade users and home gardeners, this spring restores correct function in the drive mechanism when the original has weakened, deformed, or failed, helping keep your mower operating efficiently during regular maintenance or repair.
Key Features:
- Genuine Honda part for assured compatibility and quality
- OEM No. 42668-VR8-N00 for correct fit in HRN216 drive assemblies
- Tempered spring steel for strength, resilience, and stable tension
- Supports smooth, consistent self-propelled drive engagement
- Helps prevent slipping or weak drive caused by a tired spring
- Made to original dimensions to seat correctly in the ratchet mechanism
- Straightforward to replace with basic hand tools, minimising downtime
- Suitable for routine maintenance or as a like‐for‐like replacement
- Reliable choice for professional landscapers and DIY users alike
Typical Applications:
Used within the mower's drive ratchet assembly to maintain proper engagement of the self‐propelled system.
