The Honda 22431-VG3-B00 V-Belt (3L-38) is a genuine OEM drive belt designed for HRR216, HRS216, and HRT216 lawn mowers. As a direct Honda OEM component, this belt is manufactured to the exact profile and length specification the 3L-38 designation calls out — meaning it installs without modification and engages the drive system the same way the original did. This part covers all three mower models in the HRR216, HRS216, and HRT216 lineup, though Honda supersedes parts at specific serial breaks, so confirming your mower's serial number against the fitment table before ordering is always the right move.
Key Features
- Correct Belt Profile — the 3L-38 designation specifies both the cross-section and the length; this genuine OEM belt matches both exactly, ensuring proper engagement and tension across the drive system
- Genuine Honda OEM Part — sourced directly from Honda, this belt meets the same specification as the belt that came on the mower, so there is no guesswork about compatibility or sizing
- Fits HRR216, HRS216, and HRT216 Lawn Mowers — covers all three models in Honda's residential walk-behind mower range; check your serial number against the fitment table to confirm the correct part for your unit
- Drive Performance — a worn or cracked belt slips under load, leading to erratic self-propel behavior or loss of blade engagement; a fresh belt restores consistent, smooth power transfer
The V-belt in a walk-behind lawn mower transmits power from the engine's crankshaft to the mower's drive components — typically the self-propel system, the blade clutch, or both, depending on the model. The 3L-38 designation identifies the belt's trapezoidal cross-section profile and its outer circumference, both of which must match the original to seat correctly in the pulleys and maintain the right operating tension. When a belt stretches, frays, or cracks with age and heat, it begins to slip, causing the drive system to feel weak or intermittent and eventually failing to engage at all. Replacing it with the correct Honda OEM belt restores full power transfer and keeps the mower performing as designed.
