I have a used 7ft Landpride Finish Mower. When I bought it, there was two flat tires. I had them fixed, but have had several more flat tires with it. Most of the problems are dirt around the rim and the seal breaks. I've tried just going forward, but that's not practical in allot of areas.

Yesterday, while mowing, I noticed that part of one tire had shredded. I figured that it was toast, so I just kept on mowing. You can see in the picture what several hours of mowing with it has done.

I'm not going to put anymore money into tubes or repairs. I want to replace all four tires with solid tires and new wheels. I've looked in my catalogs, but can only find replacement tires and tubes. The solids are all allot smaller, which I don't want. I like the width of the tires, which allows them to float to some degree over the ground when it's wet.

Current tire size is 13x5.00-6

I'm assuming this means the tire is 13 inches tall and the rim is 5 inches. Does the 6 mean that it's 6 inches wide? There is a bolt that goes through the middle that mounts the wheels. I grease this with a fitting that's in the wheel.

Wheelbarrow tire and wheel combinations look similar, but I'm worried they might not be strong enough for what the finish mower goes through. Maybe they are?

Does anybody know a source for replacement, solid tires of this size?

Thanks,
Eddie
