Sparky-(Admin) 21,315 #2 Posted June 29, 2023 It’ll be tough, and they won’t be cheap. I think a few small Sears ride on tractors from the 60’s used them on the rear. Keep your eyes out for one of those machines on the cheap. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keep your eyes out for one of those machines on the cheap. I have a W T Grants department store mower that looks almost identical to this Sears. My mower does have that exact same tire on which is the right tread pattern, but a much smaller tire. I need a square seat pan like this also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm guessing the tire size is 16x6.50-8, the most common front tire size used for so many years. I have original wheels, just need the tires. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8ntruck 6,998 #10 Posted June 29, 2023 That is the size that Tractor Data lists for the 1045. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigrking69.sw@gmail.com 2 #11 Posted June 29, 2023 The rear wheels and tires that are on this Electro 12 actually belong on the 1045. The 1045 is a one owner (previous to me), bought new, and the Electro 12 was purchased at a sale, but spent almost it's entire life with this same owner. They both need some TLC, but said to run and operate, just haven't been for a few years. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
