Great video! No instruction manual will give you this detail. Very well done. Tough work made easy.
Only thing I would have done differently, because I'm never going in there again, I would have power washed and blown out all of the built up debris and washed all of the parts.
Man o live,youre a lifesaver! This is a great video. Ive had my hrx217 k6vla since 2019 and by last fall the belt was shot. I bought the belt in a 2 pk from honda in November, but i couldnt find a video that was a good enough aid to feel confident to replace it myself. Mine doesnt have the blade clutch,so that shouldnt be a problem, but wow thetes alot of sublte nuisances to changing a honda belt. If a guy went into it blind hes liable to get lost. Thank you so much for making and sharing this video
thank you much. I replaced the belt on my hrx217. belt burned up about a week ago, got caught on the belt shield. again thanks. successful belt install. appreciate the video.
I really do love Honda lawnmowers. I wish Honda would get back into the game and start making them again. Electric might have its place, but not on my property.
It took several videos to find the exact 217 but I'm glad I found yours! I damn sure wasn't going to buy a manual especially since it's not my mower. Thanks a ton!
Thank you so much for making this video buddy. Im an hvac tech/installer so mechanical stuff doesnt scare me however, this is far more work than i feel like it should be to replace a belt that can easily dry rot over time 😂 gotta love engineers. I just bought my first house and bc i am low on money , i was gifted a gcv 160 honda mower. With my luck though the belt was dry rotted and now ive gotta fix it. Thanks to you though it shouldnt be a problem.
