Tires B2150 Front Turf Tires & Split Rims

[aquetrac]

I recently picked up a B2150 HSD with turf tires. The fronts are 24X8.5-12 and I had a leaking stem. I brought it to my local tire store to get the stem replaced. This rim is the type that has bolts holding the 2 halfs together. They told me the rim had to be seperated to get a new stem in. When they put it back together, it was leaking between the rim sections and they said I needad a tube which they did not have.

How are these rim sections sealed? I took them apart myself and did not see any type of gasket or sealant. Also I know I need to repace these front tires as they are badly cracked. I've looked around but they are pretty scarce. Amyone know of a supplier for these, they are Bridgestone Pillow Diameter, 24X8.5-12?

Thanks for any ideas!

Mine has the same tires, and I need to replace them, but can't find any locally. The Bridgestone part number is 359-750.

Good luck.

You should have a thick black rubber gasket between the 2 halves. It is alot of fun getting this and the tube back in and bolted together, I recently had to replace tube in mine. Kubota dealer for the gasket, but it probably isn't needed if you go the tube route.
