Description
42667-VR8-N01 – Honda Ratchet (Right) Genuine OEM Rear Wheel Part
The Honda Ratchet (Right) 42667-VR8-N01 is a genuine OEM rear wheel drive component used in the rear wheel ratchet mechanism of select Honda walk-behind lawn mowers. This right-side ratchet plays a key role in the self-propelled wheel drive system by allowing proper engagement and smooth wheel rotation.
Ratchet components are essential for maintaining consistent traction and correct rear wheel drive operation. Over time, ratchets may wear, chip, or fail due to repeated movement, debris exposure, and normal operating stress. A worn right-side ratchet can result in slipping drive engagement, uneven wheel motion, or reduced propulsion performance.
Replacing the ratchet with the correct genuine Honda OEM part restores proper rear wheel function and dependable self-propelled operation.
Manufactured to Honda factory specifications, this OEM right ratchet ensures precise fitment, durability, and long-term reliability.
