It had come time to replace the front tires on my 34" Gravely walk behind mower. Daddy Dave uses this mower when he has to get through those small back gates. It is a beast and sometimes acts as a bush hog, I do have a couple clients who let their yard get too high, and this machine cuts like butter.
One day while doing maintance on the mowers daddy Dave overfilled one of the front tires causing it too blow, daddy Dave preformed a temporary fix but it was time to repair before the tire came completely off. Here you can see the tire threads.
Daddy Dave pick up some flat free tires at a local supply store which were the same size but under closer inspection the Diameter of the axel on the mower was larger. After some cursing daddy Dave realized an easy fix, the enclosed bearings were interchangeable. After working them loose with a screwdriver they were replaced with the right size bearings from the older tires.
The new tires were then put back on with a little extra grease and help from an air gun to make sure they were nice and snug. Lets go cut some grass
