Thank you for the link over. John is a Coastie vet, and living on social security and what little he makes from social security. We've found new tires but they are 120 + a piece and that just not in his budget. If we can get 4 used NDT tires for a hundred it would ve greatly appreciated.
I'm far from an expert on these things but I do have some info/help to offer up cause I'm a hobby farmer who has a passion for old equipment. Also, excuse me if I get too basic for ya.
First off (you may or may not know Just posting for posterity) you have the "old" style numbering system. Here's a great Link to describe what's going on there. http://www.millertire.com/faqs/
Second, sounds like you're more interested in using it rather than restoring it, so in that case go with the new numbering system. You're going to have to take some extra measurements to make sure but these should work: http://www.powersportsplace.com/parts/crr-5100961?seid=pspse1&gclid=CNTqnciQw7gCFVOe4AodNGIAmg
Unfortunately that's probably the cheapest you'll find, at least new. No worries though, Carlisle makes a real good tire for this kinda thing.
Thank you, I'll check it out. The problem is he gets less than $600. a month Social Security and we're trying to get this back up as it's one of the ways he earns extra money by tilling people's gardens. No tires no extra income. Hopefully he will be able to get these if they are the proper size.
I understand. Depending on how bad they are you could always put a tube in them and get a couple extra years out of them. only problem is some of those oddball size tubes cost as much as a tire sometimes but if you only have one or two that isn't holding air it may be an option for you so you can start the process of replacing all 4 over a period of time.
I'll keep an eye out and if I come across anything that uses that size tire I'll let ya know. A lot of times you can get tires that are in the ballpark but advertised for some other piece of equipment.
Thank you again. We already have tubes in the tires he has on there now. Put a rock decided to rip out the sidewall on one and the others are getting badly dry rotted. It's my understanding the same tires for the jeep were also used on the 1/2, 3/4 and 1 ton trailers. As long as they are the 16" tires and in decent shape, they should work just fine.
