Yes, Honda made three 17" mowers. The HR173 had a gas engine mounted on the plastic deck. The HR17E had and electric motor on the same plastic deck as the HR173 and the HR17 had the same gas engine as the HR173 mounted on an aluminum deck.
Yep, I had to look at that label on mine several times before it sunk in. The handle switch carries a Briggs and Stratton part number too. Unfortunately, it is NLA.
That's kind of goofy! Most people don't realize that Briggs makes a lot of electric motors. The engineering club at my school has an electric car with a Briggs electric motor.

i found an HR17E in my backyard when i moved to my new house. This thing looked like it spent quite a few years outdoor (cold winter and rainy summer). i first thought this thing will never work by the look of it...but damn. Never had a lawn mower that cutt so good!
I have two of these Honda HR173 that where given to me and I can not get either to kick over for me, I've replaced to Carby and the Coil & it still won work and I'm stuck why I've repaired over 150 lawn mowers but these things are driving me nuts
