I bought a HR17 off Craigslist and would like to know the year built. Engine serial number is G100-1025236, deck serial number is 1019425.

Thanks

Jeff

The HR17 was introduced to the USA market in 1980, and was discontinued around 1985. Sorry, but no specific data is available for that serial number. It was made (in Japan) no earlier than 1979, and perhaps as late as 1983.



It was the first Honda mower to feature a blade-clutch ("Roto-Stop") system.

There was also an earlier HR17-E that was electric, and guess who made the motor? Briggs & Stratton. :tongue:

Bob, thanks for trying and the background on this model. Hopefully it was a Honda certified pre-owned lawnmower,,,lol!
