model 31 sickle mower

Larrydw · Dec 8, 2010

I picked up an old sickle mower and need a new back tire. There"s nothing left of the tire on the mower. Does anyone know the correct tire size and is that size still available? Is there any readily available parts around or do I need to look for a parts mower?

4.00-9 is the correct size on mine. they are available, but hard to come by, and pricey when you do find them. I have a rake with two of the same size.

To replace the rusted out tail wheel on my uncle's old little genius plow, I picked up a 4.80x12 trailer spare at Harbor Freight on sale. On sale, plus 20% off coupon, I think I spent $37 total including the bogus NYS "tire disposal fee."

We spent 5 minutes on paperwork... but it was a lot cheaper than an actual implement tire.

Cut the center out of the old plow rim, cut the center out of the trailer tire, welded the desirable parts together.

Harbor Freight also has an 8" trailer spare. Check the weekly coupon book that the marketers mail you for a 20% off coupon if you have a store near you.

Thanks, that at least give me a start in trying to find something that will work!

I saw one a while back for about $45, but that was a while back, and tires seem to have gone up along with everything else.

I wonder if maybe one of those solid rubber, laminated tires for a bush hog type mower might work?
