Default Walker golf cart -- need to get rolling

Picked up a Walker Executive golf cart the other day.... Not sure what level of "restoration" it'll receive - I kind of like it the way it is!

Definitely needs tires. They're 6" rims, and the tires on there are 6.90/6.00-6

I've done a good amount of searching, and this appears to be an uncommon size. I believe that number format is "standard". I've tried to convert it to "metric" but searching by that metric number hasn't provided any results either....

Anybody know how to figure out what size tires will fit these rims? I'm not stuck on getting the exact same size as what's on there, but want them to fit properly.

And if you happen to have a pair laying around, I'm all ears. I only need 2 for the rear and will be putting tubes in them.

Thanks

Chop it up and put a cub underneath it. I would take a tape measure out and measure the height and width and go from there, it looks like there's alot of options in 6" tires.

Pretty sure the size you want is either a 13X6.50-6 or a 15X6.00-6. Either should work, basically height is the difference. 1/2" difference in width.

Keep us posted!

There are a lot of 6" tires available.. something close will work..

Like others have said try miller tire.. They prob don't have that size but can give you a substitution for a modern size

Thanks everybody. I'll check out Miller Tire....

I had never seen one of these before, so I pretty much had to have it! It's gas, powered by a 7 HP Kohler. From what I can find, there were only about 1,000 made.

The company is still in business. They currently make yellow and white riding mowers. http://www.walkermowers.com/company/our-story.php

WOW, I used to work on Walker Mowers back in the late 80's.. good machines!

Also had a friend that had a similar looking cart with a 7hp K161 kohler... but I don't think his was a walker.. just very similar!

It will just go up in valve, I see them being restored, and that style is unique.
Keep it as much original as you can.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
