The Honda 76138-VR8-N00 Rear Shield Shaft is a genuine OEM component designed for HRN216 and HRX217 lawn mowers. As a direct Honda OEM part, it is manufactured to the same specification as the original, ensuring a correct, drop-in fit with no guesswork. Honda supersedes parts at serial breaks, so confirm your mower's serial number against the fitment table before ordering to make sure part number 76138-VR8-N00 is the right application for your unit. When the rear shield needs proper support restored, this is the part that brings it back to original operating condition.
Key Features
- Genuine Honda OEM Construction — sourced directly from Honda, this shaft is built to the original design specification, so the rear shield moves and seats exactly as intended from the factory floor.
- Correct Fit for HRN216 and HRX217 Mowers — engineered specifically for Honda HRN216 and HRX217 walk-behind lawn mowers; no adapting or improvising required.
- Serial Number Verification Recommended — Honda updates part applications at production serial breaks, so cross-check your mower's serial number against the fitment table to confirm this is the correct shaft for your machine.
- Restores Proper Shield Operation — a damaged or missing rear shield shaft leaves the shield unsupported and unable to pivot or hold its position correctly; replacing it returns the shield to full working order.
The rear shield shaft is the pivot and support member that allows the rear discharge or safety shield on Honda walk-behind lawn mowers to move and hold its position during operation. It provides the structural connection that keeps the shield aligned with the mower deck so it can do its job of directing material and protecting the operator's area behind the machine. When the shaft bends, breaks, or goes missing, the shield loses its anchor point and can no longer function as designed — replacing it is the straightforward fix that puts the rear shield back in service.
