Honda 76284-VG3-010 Guard Return Spring

The Honda 76284-VG3-010 Guard Return Spring is a genuine OEM component designed for HRR216, HRS216, and HRT216 lawn mowers. Sourced directly from Honda, this spring delivers the same fit and function as the part that left the factory, ensuring the blade guard returns to its proper resting position every time. This is a direct OEM replacement, so no modification is needed to match part number 76284-VG3-010 to your machine. Confirm your mower's serial number against the fitment table before ordering, as Honda occasionally supersedes parts at production breaks.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM Tension — manufactured to Honda's exact spring rate, so the guard snaps back with the correct force — not too stiff, not too weak
• Direct Replacement — engineered to drop into the existing guard assembly on HRR216, HRS216, and HRT216 mowers without alteration
• Wide Mower Compatibility — a single part covering the HRR216, HRS216, and HRT216 lawn mower lineup, making it easy to stock one spring for multiple units
• Serial Number Verification Recommended — Honda updates part numbers at production milestones, so cross-check your mower's serial number against the fitment table to confirm this is the correct spring for your build

The guard return spring provides the tension that pulls the blade guard back to its closed position after the operator releases it. Without a functioning spring, the guard may hang open or fail to return consistently, leaving the mower's blade area unsecured between cuts. A stretched, broken, or fatigued spring should be replaced promptly to restore normal guard operation on the HRR216, HRS216, and HRT216 mowers this part is built for.
