Where To Find BIG Lawnboy Wheels

[hotajax]

I have one of those old Dura Force Lawn Boy rotary mowers. It has these giant 13 1/2" wheels on the back. Besides McMaster-Carr, are there any other sources? Mower works great, wheels getting very sloppy around their axles. Thanks in advance.

If you’re having trouble sourcing them, use a drill press to drill out the center and install bushings.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I have no idea of what type / size of bushing to get. Is it possible you have a link to some? Thanks.

Measure the bolt size and get a sleeve bushing that is about 1/16-1/8” thick. If your axle bolt size is 1/2, get a 5/8 or 3/4 OD bushing, depending on how much plastic you have in the hub. I suppose a good hardware store will have some, but you’ll have to be handy with tools.
