The Honda 23431-VA3-J52 First Driven Gear (33T) is a genuine OEM replacement designed for HR195, HR215, and HRA215 lawn mowers. Sourced directly from Honda, this gear is manufactured to the same specification as the original component, ensuring correct tooth count, dimensional fit, and engagement with the mower's transmission. If the drive system on your HR-series mower has become noisy, slipping, or unresponsive, this is the part to reach for.
Key Features
- Correct Tooth Profile — a genuine OEM 33-tooth gear means proper mesh with mating components in the transmission, avoiding the skipping, wear, and noise that a mismatched part causes
- Genuine Honda OEM — manufactured to Honda's original specification; this is the same part that left the factory with your mower, not an approximation of it
- Fits HR195, HR215, and HRA215 Lawn Mowers — confirm your mower's serial number against the fitment table before ordering, as Honda supersedes transmission components at specific serial breaks
- Restores Drive Engagement — a worn or damaged first driven gear leads to lost self-propel function or erratic ground speed; replacing it returns the transmission to proper operation
The first driven gear is a core component of the mower's transmission, receiving drive from the first driving gear and transferring rotational force through the gear train to propel the mower forward. The 33-tooth count is specific to the gear ratio this transmission requires — substituting an incorrect tooth count changes the drive ratio and can cause premature wear across the entire gearbox. When this gear chips, strips, or wears down, self-propel performance degrades and the mower may lose forward drive entirely, making timely replacement essential to keeping the machine working as intended.
