Honda HRX 537 - Bent Crankshaft

Posted by Geraint Jones on May 6, 2020 at 5:23pm in Machinery

Hello all,

I inherited this mower but the crankshaft is unfortunately bent. Is there anyone out there  with either a crankshaft or a replacement engine for this mower that I could purchase please?

Its a 6.5 HP GCV 190 engine, the Honda Part Number is 06131-Z8D-W50.

Thanks for any help.

Regards,

Geraint Jones

        Well we've got the mower body sitting in a skip right now. The engine's in one peice but hasn't started for a couple of years. We're Birmingham area.PM if it's of interest.

          Hi Steven,

          Thanks for the message

          Yes it would be of interest as long as its not seized and the shaft is straight. How much do you want for it please?

            You can have it for nothing,we're throwing it out anyway. Have sent you a friend request.

    If you can get a free replacement, that's great .................. providing the crankshaft length isn't really short, you can actually straighten the shaft.  I've a tool I picked up on Ebay secondhand..... it bolts onto the bottom of the engine and a large bolt aplies pressure to the the side of the shaft to bend it straight...... there's actually youtube videos of the tool being used. I'm sure some dealers will have access to one of these.   Haven't actually tried it out yet but seemed a good gadget to buy for £35 though I suspect I might never use it and will end up reselling it on Ebay!
