Bad Wheel

[Frank Sorbello]

Anyone have the specs on the wheels for the PT-422 or know where to buy them other than Power Trac? I need to replace one. Tire size is I believe 23 x 12.5 x 10. 5 lug

Thanks

Frank

Do you think this set up will work?

I doubt that wheel is designed for the kind of weight/stress you would be putting on it.

what happened to the wheel?

Actually, it looks like an exact replacement for what he is looking for.

Just be sure to check the back spacing, bolt pattern and center.

Here's a link to an old thread that may help.

Sometimes I am wrong.

Hi
So I purchased 4 tires and wheels from Surplus Center.
They seem to be very very similar to the Carlisle tires that are on my machine. Tread pattern looks pretty close to identical.
Wheels seem to be very close as well.

I did notice on my present wheels and tires. I have a valve stem on the inside and outside of each wheel.
On the new wheels there is only one, which will be on the inside or deep side of the wheel. It appears it will be very close to hitting the wheel motor frame.
Any insight on this?

Thanks
Frank

I'm thinking you want the valve stem on the outside, so you can more easily add or remove air.

Should you find that you do have clearance issues with normal valve stems on the inside, one potential solution would be inner tubes with a bent stem in them. That's the type of tubes I have in my brush mower tires, in order to clear the axles...

I have been very happy with my recessed valve stems. I no longer have to worry about sticks etc ripping them out. But I also have the bullet proof sealer in these tires so I have not had to add air to them in over a year.

Just drill a new hole for the valve stem where you want it to be.

Either use the other stem or remove it and weld shut.

they also make plugs that you can use in the unwanted valve stem hole

You can also just put a valve stem in there and never use it. Remove the core if you want. Or paint it red if you can't remember.... like me! :laughing:

I put a plug in when grass ripped the inside stem out.
