The Honda 23457-VD6-800 Countershaft Driven Gear (52T) is a genuine OEM component designed for H4514 and H4518 lawn tractors. As a direct Honda OEM part, it is manufactured to the same specifications as the original, ensuring a proper mesh and engagement within the transaxle. This Countershaft Driven Gear (52T) is the correct replacement for H4514 and H4518 tractors, though Honda supersedes parts at serial-number breaks, so always confirm your tractor's serial number against the fitment table before ordering.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Gear Geometry — a 52-tooth count is not a suggestion; OEM manufacture holds the tooth profile and pitch that determine how smoothly power transfers through the countershaft, keeping engagement quiet and wear even
- Drop-In Replacement — sourced directly from Honda, this gear installs in place of the original with no alterations to surrounding transaxle components
- Fits H4514 and H4518 Lawn Tractors — purpose-built for these Honda lawn tractors; confirm the model and serial number on your machine against the fitment table to ensure this is the correct gear for your serial range
- Drivetrain Integrity — a worn or damaged countershaft driven gear causes slipping, grinding, or loss of drive; replacing it with the correct OEM part restores smooth, consistent power delivery to the drivetrain
The countershaft driven gear sits inside the transaxle and transfers rotational power from the input shaft to the output side of the drive system. Its 52 teeth mesh with a corresponding drive gear; the tooth count sets the gear ratio that determines ground speed and pulling force for the tractor. When the gear teeth wear, chip, or crack, the drivetrain loses the ability to transmit power cleanly — resulting in slipping, noise, or a tractor that will not move under load. Replacing this gear with a genuine Honda part restores correct mesh, quiet operation, and full power transfer through the transmission.
