I went to Tractor Supply yesterday and didn't see anything that might work. I measured my tires and they are right at 12 inches in diameter. I know they are stamped 13x5.00-6, but maybe it's like lumber. You say one size, but the real size is one smaller? Anyway, the inside distance between the metal to mount the wheel is 6 3/8 inches. I can fudge this a little bigger or smaller.

So far, I'm not seeing anything that I think will both float over the ground, and hold up. Most of the solid wheels that I've seen don't have zirk fittins, or are on platic rims. Allot of them are also very thin, of way too small in diameter.

I might go to Northern Tools store in DFW Sunday if things work out with Steph and her plans for the weekend. There is also an Atwoods in town that I want to check out. They always seem to have allot more selection then Tractor Supply.

Thanks
Eddie
