There was a thread a while ago on tires but can't find it. Someone listed AG tires and rims. If somebody can find it, please re-send to the group.
The website should have a section devoted to things like this:
- tires
- electric parts relays, capacitors, etc...
- lift strap
- bearings sizes, info
- motor info (I'm working on getting GE's info together)
Don Barry - what you think?

Changing my back tires to Ag lugs. 23X10.5x12's My question is where can I find two rims? Width of the rims? Do other garden tractor rims or wheels fit?

Walt & Dan,
I'm not sure if the attached link is what you were thinking of, but..... I think the "thread" you mentioned might have been a site that Marcus Lorch had going, but now I've lost it too.
In any case, if anybody is looking for some big ass AG tires (26 x 10.00-12) already mounted on wheels that should bolt right on (at least they have the right bolt pattern and pilot hole size, but I'm not sure about the backset), then try this link:
http://www.surpluscenter.com/item.asp?UID=2006111414003084&item=1-2912&catname=wheels
Since the ad doesn't say otherwise, I'd have to assume that they are all mounted the same direction. That would mean that you'd have to demount one of them and turn the tire around on that wheel. Since they are listed as 25/26" in diameter instead of our OEM 23", there might also be a bit of a "clearance" issue under the fender.
But at $40 apiece, it might be worth looking into. And the yellow color might be close to GE yellow.

I found a decent set of rims w/ tires on ebay ($100 for a set).
Had to mount them stems in to get closer distance to battery box.
Got them from
http://stores.ebay.com/Rustybores-Tire-Store
or
http://stores.ebay.com/Jeds-Wholesale-Tires
Sorry, I can't remember which one, the OEM rims were 12"x7" with 2.5"
/ 5.50" offset.

I listed ET tires and rims for sale about 6-7 weeks ago. I think ET rims are not commercially available from the usual sources, when I looked the only 5 lug rims I found measured 4 1/2" on center between hole 1 and hole 3. For us it needs to be 4 1/4"

Did someone on the list use plastic tire chains? Where did you get them? How do they compare with metal chains? I am hoping to reduce the damage to my seal coating this winter.
Thanks,
Rob Brockway in NH
