The Honda 72610-VA4-000 Blade Holder is a genuine OEM component designed for the GXV160 vertical shaft engine and a range of Honda walk-behind lawn mowers, including the HR194, HR195, HR214, HR215, HRA214, HRA215, HRA216, HRC215, and HRC216. As a direct Honda OEM part, it is manufactured to the same specification as the original, ensuring proper blade retention and consistent cutting performance. Always confirm your model against the fitment table and verify your unit's serial number, as Honda supersedes parts at serial breaks and not every variant may apply to your machine.
Key Features
- Genuine Honda OEM Construction — manufactured to the original specification, so blade engagement and retention behave exactly as Honda designed, with no guesswork on dimensional fit
- Correct Blade-to-Deck Interface — this component is the mechanical link between the cutting blade and the drive hub; an exact replacement here keeps blade tracking true and minimizes vibration during operation
- Broad Honda Mower Coverage — fits the HR194, HR195, HR214, HR215, HRA214, HRA215, HRA216, HRC215, and HRC216 lawn mowers, as well as the GXV160 vertical shaft engine
- Serial Number Verification Recommended — Honda updates part supersessions at production serial breaks, so cross-check your machine's serial number against the fitment table before ordering to confirm this is the correct holder for your unit
- Restore Clean, Safe Cutting Performance — a worn or damaged blade holder allows the blade to run off-center or with excess play, resulting in an uneven cut and accelerated wear on surrounding components; replacing it restores the clean engagement the mower depends on
The Blade Holder is the mounting interface that secures the cutting blade to the mower's drive hub or crankshaft output. It transmits rotational force from the engine directly to the blade, keeping it centered and locked at the correct running position. When this holder cracks, distorts, or wears at its mating surfaces, the blade can shift during operation, producing an uneven cut, increased vibration, and stress on the crankshaft — making timely replacement an important part of routine mower maintenance.
