The Honda 23442-VK6-003 Final Driven Gear (65T) is a genuine OEM component designed for the HRC216 lawn mower. Sourced directly from Honda, this gear matches the original factory part in tooth count, geometry, and fit — the only variables that matter when replacing a drive component. If the self-propel system on your HRC216 has lost drive, it is slipping, or grinding, replacing the Final Driven Gear (65T) with the correct OEM part is the straightforward path to restoring full drive engagement. Confirm your mower's serial number against the fitment table before ordering to make sure this is the right gear for your serial range.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Tooth Accuracy — at 65 teeth, the gear ratio is fixed by Honda's drive system design; only the correct tooth count restores the intended ground speed and torque transfer on the HRC216.
- Direct OEM Replacement — this part carries Honda part number 23442-VK6-003 and is engineered to drop into the HRC216 drive assembly without modification.
- Fits the HRC216 Lawn Mower — designed specifically for the HRC216 commercial walk-behind mower; verify your serial number against the compatibility table to confirm the correct application.
- Restores Self-Propel Drive — a worn or damaged final driven gear causes loss of propulsion, uneven ground speed, or audible gear noise; replacing it brings the drive system back to proper operation.
The Final Driven Gear (65T) is a core component of the HRC216's self-propel transmission. It meshes with the drive train to transfer rotational force from the transmission to the rear wheels, converting engine power into forward motion at the ground speed Honda engineered for the mower. When the gear's teeth wear down or chip from prolonged use or debris ingestion, drive engagement becomes inconsistent or fails entirely — the mower loses self-propulsion and places the full effort of movement on the operator. Replacing this gear with the correct 65-tooth OEM part restores the designed gear ratio and smooth, consistent wheel drive.
