Have the mower tires foam filled and thank me later.

 

I will have to look into that. I don't know anyone who does that.

 

I’ve had mower tires that were done before.

No flats ever, and also no low tires causing uneven mowing heights.
Both of which were important mowing commercially.

Also have had skid loader tires foam filled, again no flats is nice.
However we used them until not only the tread was gone but also rubber coming off and the foam showing.
Then we had to buy new rims and tires, as it was not very feasible to remove the foam from the rim.


It will add considerable weight to whatever you do it to, and also isn’t very cheap if I recall.

 

I am actually starting to see some flat free tires advertised for mowers now.

 

Wouldn’t surprise me.

We’ve gone that direction for the skid loaders.

 

We started putting aperture tires on fork lifts about 12 years ago but they had to be pressed on like a solid tire. These are like the flat free wheelbarrow tires that have been around for years. I just started seeing them advertised for lawnmowers.

Back when I was in tech school we were building a demolition derby car and tried to fill the tires with spray foam, but it never cured once the tire sealed up.

 

It looks like the flat free 15" tires are out of stock at most places but I found some 16". I forgot all about the new set of 15s I put on my old craftsman. I wanted to swap it to 16s anyway to match the taller rear tires I installed.

Yah... If these where the ones I saw... I hate to know who else was there.
This was taken from across the river and up the hill and really zoomed.. I uneducated guess would be that they were 8 plus feet or longer.. They were BIG.. If I was going to get a Gator tag I would go back here

 

There was a woman somewhere here in GA that was doing a house call to cut hair or something. She noticed a gator in the water behind the house and went to get a closer look. The homeowner told her to stay away, that they had seen it eat a deer recently. The woman replied back asking if she looked like a deer. Then the gator grabbed her, they said she yelled "I guess I won't do that again". The other woman's husband threw her a rope and waded in trying to pull her out, but the gator got her again and took her under.

 

I saw this on the news. She absolutely gets a Darwin award.

 

we're not too worried about alligators here...there are far greater dangers that lurk at every corner...mcdonald's, wendy's, etc...heart attack is a brutal killer

with that said due to the lockdown preventing me from hitting my favorite bars for some chicken wings my current drug of choice is the nearby popeye's fried chicken joint...at least i can see it coming unlike those gators and crocs

 

Well that's just my luck, the flat free tires I wanted are sold out today. I waited to make sure the hub size was correct, that sucks.

 

I've got to build a wood shed so I can buy some fire wood and play with fire making around the house more. I'm getting better at it but want to be a lot better than I am.

 

That's a thought...

 

I just use a weed burner on a propane tank. Works every time.

 

That reminds me I was planning to order a new weed burner a few weeks ago.

 

Well this is what happens when you mess up taking the top off the Jeep.......second window in 2 days that I have broken. FM first window was in the pool shed I’m customizing it making it flip up and I cracked it.
Now just waiting for a third window.
