I recently bought a Honda HRM215SXA, I think I have the model right based on decoding from a website. It is the plastic deck, 3 spd, rear bagger, no blade clutch model.
I bought the mower used for $60, last owner couldnt get it to run, i took the carb off, cleaned the snot out of it runs like a champ, self propel works, cuts better than any other mower I have owned, sad but true compared to a the $400 Cub Cadet with caster wheels I bought 3 years ago thinking it was a great mower, I did not know it was just another rebadged MTD.
My only complaint with this mower is that set at the highest cutting height it still cuts shorter than any mower I have owned, I looked at the mower and noticed the bottom blade is actually sitting a quarter inch below the deck. I took it a shop familiar with basically every brand and he said the blades are mounted correctly...
Should I try some new FACTORY blades and see if it fixes the problem? The mower is fine for my own yard, but I mow a few (meaning 3 lawns not of own) and they prefer the grass cut as high as possible. Compared to before, this mower is almost shaving the lawn.
Thank you for any insight!
