The Honda 23111-VB5-800 is a genuine OEM High Drive Gear (28T) designed for HRA216, HRC215, and HRC216 lawn mowers. As a direct Honda OEM component, this gear is manufactured to the same specifications as the original part it replaces, ensuring correct engagement and smooth drive operation. This replacement is confirmed for HRA216, HRC215, and HRC216 mowers — verify your unit's serial number against the fitment table to confirm the correct part for your production run, as Honda supersedes drive components at serial breaks.
Key Features
- OEM Gear Tooth Integrity — genuine Honda manufacture means the 28-tooth count and tooth profile match the original exactly, maintaining proper mesh and drive ratio in the transmission.
- Direct OEM Replacement — part number 23111-VB5-800 drops into the drive system of HRA216, HRC215, and HRC216 mowers without modification, replacing the worn or stripped gear with an exact-match component.
- Check Your Serial Number — Honda updates drivetrain components at production serial breaks; confirm your mower's serial number against the fitment table before ordering to ensure this is the correct variant for your unit.
- Drive Performance — a worn or stripped high drive gear causes slipping, loss of self-propel engagement, or complete drive failure; replacing it restores smooth, consistent power transfer to the wheels.
The High Drive Gear (28T) is a key component in the self-propelled drive transmission of these Honda walk-behind lawn mowers. It meshes with the drive system to transfer power from the transmission to the wheels, with the 28-tooth count setting the drive ratio that determines the mower's ground speed. When the gear teeth wear down or strip — typically from prolonged use, debris ingestion, or engagement under load — the self-propel system loses its ability to transfer drive force, leaving the mower unable to move under its own power. Replacing this gear restores full drive engagement and returns the mower to normal operation.
