Bigger Wheels Mounted On Craftsman Mower

Bigger Wheels Mounted On Craftsman Mower MOWERS “I bought a used Craftsman 54-in riding mower that had a major design problem ” says Jim Ross Brockway Penn “The mower rode too low so the deck could not drop down to all of its 5 mowing positions It was always getting hung up on high spots in the yard “I fixed the problem by switching from the original 20-in tires on 8-in wheels to 23-in tires on 12-in wheels I did it by cutting up the original 8-in wheels saving only the centers in order to mount the wheels on the 3/4-in axle I drilled 2 extra holes to give them a 4-bolt pattern on 4-in centers also drilling that pattern into the new 12-in wheels I bolted the old centers onto the new wheels and fitted the wheels with the 23-in tires They gave me the height to float the cutting deck No more getting hung up and I like the larger selection of tire tread patterns available for the 12-in wheels ” Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Jim Ross 11693 Route 28 Brockway Penn 15824 ph 814 328-2264
