My fiend has a Gilson model 55132 blower. It is in mint condition except for the tires. The lugs have worn off the hard rubber tires so now he is running slicks :lol:


I see from Spectrum's excellent site that this is a common problem.

I was trying to track down a set of wheels or perhaps a set of chains.

Does anybody know the correct tire size for that model? I see a set on the surplus supply web site that are 10x3 , 3-15/16 hub with ,3/4 diameter shaft with 5/16 crosshole. that looks like the ones on it ????

I will have my friend measure the wheel and send it to me.


also how is the wheel removed? Do you just remove the bolt in the crosshole and the wheel pulls off?


thanks
