The Honda 42961-VB5-A00 Rear Adjuster Plate is a genuine OEM replacement designed for HRC215 and HRC216 lawn mowers. As a direct OEM component, this plate is manufactured to the same specifications as the original part it replaces, ensuring a correct, hassle-free installation. Honda supersedes parts at production serial breaks, so confirm your mower's serial number against the fitment table before ordering to make sure part number 42961-VB5-A00 is the right match for your unit.
Key Features
- Genuine Honda OEM — sourced directly from Honda, this Rear Adjuster Plate matches the original part in geometry and function, so installation goes in without rework or adaptation.
- Correct Height Adjustment — a worn or damaged adjuster plate compromises the mower's ability to hold a consistent cutting height; replacing it restores precise deck positioning across all cut settings.
- HRC215 and HRC216 Fitment — built specifically for these Honda commercial walk-behind lawn mowers; verify your serial number against the fitment table to confirm applicability to your machine.
The Rear Adjuster Plate is a structural component of the cutting height adjustment system on Honda's HRC-series commercial walk-behind mowers. It provides the fixed reference point that the adjuster mechanism bears against, allowing the operator to raise or lower the deck to the desired cutting height and hold it there reliably during operation. When this plate cracks, wears, or breaks, the adjustment system loses its positive engagement, making it difficult or impossible to set and maintain an accurate cut height — replacing it promptly keeps the mower cutting at the depth the operator intends.
