Hello all. I’m a new member here and have been reading for a while using the knowledge here to repair my Honda mower. My now retired mower is a HR194 px. I trashed picked it ~25 years ago and it has served me well. The roto-stop has damage to the cable attachment plus the underside of the deck is pretty beat up. Time to move on.
My ‘new’ mower is a Harmony 215. Came with the bbc not installed and a bad bearing on the blade holder. Paid $75 for the mower and $20 for the bearing. Got that sorted and all is well. This is where the thanks are due. There’s no way I’m getting this back together and running well without this forum. So thank you to all who post and share knowledge here.
My question is I wish to replace all four wheels. I see many options and part numbers but I’m not sure of the correct number. The model tag on this mower is missing.
Thanks again, Keith

How about the old fashioned way? Take a wheel with you to a place that sells mower parts and see if they can match it up for you.

I’d be tempted if I lived close.

Any idea what failed in the trans? The SX tranny really is pretty caveman simple ...

Were I coming to Houston any time soon, I'd grab that in a second (in the Dallas area . . . ).

Oh, and how's the engine?

@tranchinh An HR215SX is a shaft driven, 3 speed geared transmission with a GXV140 and blade clutch . . . if that's not what you have, then that's not the right model number. The HR215 is Masters series, not Harmony . . . and appears to be what the two on the right in your photo are . . .

Please clarify what you offered for $50 . . . if it really is an HR215SX, well, the drive is boring but not that bad . . .

I did what this fellow did except that instead of using safety treads, I picked up some free to-be-discarded mountain bike tires from a local bike shop. The tires had blown the sidewall but the tread was good. In my case, the mower is a John Deere and Deere exited the walk behind business years ago so parts are getting hard to find and pricey. Over a year later, the retread is holding fine and the job was fun to do. I would do it again on my HRX217 if that mower needed new tires but it doesn't yet.
