Tires for an Old Rototiller

[clembrewer]

My father has an old Rototiller brand rototiller - I think it's a late 40s vintage machine. 5hp, 2-cycle with a 20lb flywheel.

The tires I think are original, and they have finally rotted out to the point where they wont hold air.

The wheels are 12" diameter, 4" wide, and are a high traction 'tractor type' design.

Where would I be able to get a pair of replacement tires for this? Any online resources?

Thanks.

Check Farm supply outlets, such as "Tractor Supply" "Orschmans", or whatever similar stores are in your area.

You are looking for a Carlisle Tru Power (or import equivalent) tire in the 6-12 size.
tiresunlimited.com shows them available for about $40 each under part # T523322.

Maybe Northern Equipment. Once, I had an old Arons snowblower that originally had solid tires on it that were worn out. We machined up some adapters and bolted up some pneumatic tires that were readily available for snowblowers.

6" is too big. I checked on the machine and it looks as if something that wide would be rubbing on the tiller guard. Good price though.
