The Honda 42940-VE2-405 Left Rear Adjusting Arm is a genuine OEM replacement designed for HRB215, HRB216, HRB217, and HRM215 lawn mowers. As a direct Honda OEM component, this part carries the same specifications as the original, ensuring a correct, no-compromise fit on the machines it was engineered for. Confirm your mower's serial number against the fitment table before ordering, as Honda updates parts at specific serial breaks and more than one version may apply to your model.
Key Features
- Genuine Honda OEM — sourced directly from Honda, this arm matches the original part's geometry and hardware interface exactly as built for these mowers
- Left Rear Position — this is the left-side rear adjusting arm; confirm left vs. right and front vs. rear on your unit before ordering to ensure you receive the correct component
- Broad Mower Compatibility — fits HRB215, HRB216, HRB217, and HRM215 lawn mowers, covering a wide span of Honda's walk-behind lineup
- Serial Number Matters — Honda supersedes components at production breakpoints, so check your mower's serial number against the compatibility table to confirm this is the right version for your machine
The rear adjusting arm is part of the cutting-height adjustment system on Honda walk-behind lawn mowers. It links the height-selector mechanism to the rear wheel assembly, allowing the operator to raise or lower the rear of the deck to set the desired cutting height. When this arm is bent, cracked, or worn at its pivot points, the rear of the deck may not hold its set position consistently, resulting in uneven cuts or an inability to engage a specific height setting. Replacing a damaged arm restores precise, repeatable deck height control across the full range of cutting positions.
