I'm weary of dealing with flats on my BEFCO C50 mower deck. This tire is reasonably priced: Amazon.com: Marathon Industries 01410P 11x4.0-5-Inch Flat Free Lawn Mower Tire - 5-Inch centered hub - 3/4-Inch Precision ball bearing: Home & Garden
A few concerns:
1) The hub length on my current tires is 4.5". It seems odd that I can't find any flat free tires that have a 4.5" hub length. Everything I've found on the web is 5". Can I shorten the hub length?
2) This has 3/4" ball bearings. Does anyone know if this is the correct size? I think my BEFCO might have 5/8" ball bearings but I can't seem to find any information on them.
My local tractor supply place seems to have information in their computer about zero flat tires that are compatible with my mower deck but I've had a hard time finding anything that gives me information about parts that would work with it. Is there a resource somewhere?
