solid finish mower tires

[Creamer]

I have always run pneumatic tires but never the issues that you guys are talking about. I would think the pneumatics would bounce less and give you a smoother cut.

On the other side I do not have Carlisle tires. I had Carlisles on my mower for the drive and tail wheel but when they needed replaced again because they would not hold air due to extremely quick dry rot I changed brands. haven't had the issue since. I think the issue may just be Carlisle tires.

We have used TractorPartsCentral.com which had wheel kits with bearings that we used. I think ours were made in Italy, but that is where a lot of finish mowers come from. We later found a still cheaper price on Amazon.

Thanks Gunny, I have four on the way !

I've been using these from Northern, $20 each right now, but I have gotten them for $17 when they run a sale. Even with shipping, you could have your finish mower up and going for less than $100.

I've used one set for two years, no problems other than making sure the grease zerks were tight and I always grease them before mowing. If these aren't the right size, they do have others

yes thanks Gunny i just recieved my 2 new wheels that i ordered from the info you posted. i had a chance to install them and give them a good try to day and they worked good so far. only problems i had was with the old tires one had gone flat and came off bead while waiting for the new wheels and one of the grease fittings on the new wheels broke instantly when i tried to add grease.
for what i paid i can fix a grease fitting. i will be ordering 2 more now that i know that they fit and seam to work well. Thanks again
