    Is this kind of tire better than the original? 
    It maybe a matter of opinion, but I believe it is.

    Your project got me thinking. I also hate those cheep hard plastic wheels. The pneumatic was not quite right for my need either. I did find a 6" direct replacement hard rubber actually poly wheel with ball bearing axel. Thanks your project helped be find an answer to a problem I did not even know I had.

    These three wheel are all the same. The middle one is just an older one.

    @Dalehelman, How long a bolt did it require for the install of all 3 wheels! Nyloc nut also?
    (Might have to get a temporary lift on my Harbor Freight restriction!  =))
    Would sure make pushin' the T@B back beside the garage a LOT easier on the gravel!

    @ericnlz It is a 10"x 1/2" than I cut off about an inch. Lock nut yes.

    I saw the blue ones at Harbor Freight and they are rated at 350 pounds.  I wonder what the original is rated at.  Then there was the no-flat pneumatic, but only rated for (250lbs).  What is the advantage of the 3 wheels?  Also does one type roll that much better?

    These particular wheels have ball bearings. By spreading out the load footprint they are less likely to dig in when turning on soft surfaces.

    Folks: I'm looking for reference item #'s or sources for any of the solid rubber "extra" 6" wheels. T

    Is THIS what you're looking for?
