The Honda 42961-VA2-000 Rear Adjusting Plate is a genuine OEM replacement designed for HRM21 and HRS21 lawn mowers. Sourced directly from Honda, this part meets the same standards as the original component it replaces. Because Honda supersedes parts at serial-number breaks, verify your mower's serial number against the fitment table before ordering to confirm part number 42961-VA2-000 is correct for your unit.
Key Features
- Genuine Honda OEM — manufactured to the same specification as the original Rear Adjusting Plate, ensuring consistent fit and function on HRM21 and HRS21 mowers.
- Direct Replacement — designed to swap in as a direct replacement for the worn or damaged original, with no reworking required to fit the existing mounting points.
- Serial Number Verification Recommended — Honda updates part numbers across production runs, so cross-check your mower's serial number with the compatibility table to confirm this is the correct plate for your machine.
The Rear Adjusting Plate is a positioning component in the rear assembly of the mower deck, providing a fixed reference point that allows the cutting height or rear roller position to be set correctly. When this plate is cracked, bent, or worn, the adjustment mechanism loses its reference point and consistent cutting performance becomes difficult to maintain. Replacing a damaged plate restores the adjustment system to proper working order and keeps the mower operating at the height settings the operator selects.
