105 Front Wheels

[Terry C]

Hi,
I know this will sound like a silly question but I want the wheels that are on the
105 owners manual front cover. They seem to have a bigger offset to the outside than the ones I have. Maybe it's an illusion and I'm all wet but I am restoring this and I don't like my front wheels. Or is it just my tires that make it look not right to that picture ? Was there an option for the turf savers on the 105? I didn't see but only one size listed. Or you all can tell me I'm being too nit picky
I'm going to put new tires on of course, what brand/style came on them originally?

the wide wheels where an option I think. you may put an add in the wanted section and be able to score a pair. my 105 had wide wheels and I switched to the narrow ones. I think they came out with a muti rib tire for the wide front wheels. v61's are nice on a wide wheel .

Thanks. At least I'm not imagining that my wheels are not the same as that pic
on the owners manual. You can't believe how long I debated about asking that for fear of sounding ridiculous

Are you talking about the 4 rib 16X6.50-8 wheel/tires? You can get replacements that are VERY close to the originals from Miller tire.

Here is a pic of my 147 with those tires mounted. The left is a new one and the one on the right is the original.



I've since replaced the original so they match.

Thanks for the link. Those are just what I'm looking for.

They will look sweet!

Yep, they are carlisle I believe. I bought one for my 126. It was mid thirty dollar range I believe. Too lazy to look it up right now.

And Terry please don't feel like you can't ask something here in fear of getting flamed. Unfortunately it seems to be happening more and more here by repeat offenders lately which in my opinion is making people shy away from asking a question. Not everyone knows everything and this forum needs to be more welcoming to any and all questions from new or older members. Rant over

Thanks for the help everyone. Couple of more things to round up and tear down starts.

Thanks again

Terry
