Famhand bale accumulator

[dhermesc]

We need to replace the wheels on our farmhand accumulator. I have no idea where to look for parts for this. The machine has enough wear (abuse?) that the old solid wheels are long gone and we have been using the front wheels and tires off a Cub Cadet 1250 lawn mower. Works for a while then the tire get pulled off the rim and you have to buy another tire. Looking for solid tires/rims to replace it.

You might have the tires you have been using , filled with foam at the tire shop.

Seems like manufacturers NEVER use a standard wheel that you can find. It's always some oddball dimension.

Standard Cub Cadet front tires are 16-6.50x8, which is a 16" diameter tire. So you're looking for a solid tire with an approximately 16" diameter. You probably won't find something with the exact axle diameter you need.

I did a quick google search for 16" diameter solid tires, and google suggested rotary mower (aka "brush hog") tail wheel tires. They're available in a 15" size (close enough IMHO) and have a 1" diameter axle so plenty heavy for your bale accumulator.
