So I purchased a used Honda HRT216 S3DA / Serial: MZCG 6149484. The deck is rusted through in two spots rendering the existing deck worthless. I need to either purchase a new deck, or sell off the bits piece by piece, or just see what I can get out of it "as is".
I've been looking for a project - something I can fix up and resell. So selling this mower "as is" isn't as appealing to me.
A new Honda deck is $105.00 and I will need all new baffles as well. My total OEM cost is $160.00. I paid 10.00 for this mower.
My question is - Are there any alternate decks that I can consider? I know that Honda mowers are on non-Honda decks in several retail stores. So is it possible? What issues might I encounter?
The engine is a GVC 160 OHC 4 stroke. Self propelled.
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm new at this kind of thing. Thanks everyone for any input.
