@RhondaHill-mi7cw 27 дней назад

You can also use some exterior grade silicone caulk and run a couple of narrow beads as you put the tread on and screw in place. It helps hold it and when you want to remove that tread piece, just use a blade knife to cut it free as you peel off. You can sometimes peel the silicone off or simply run another bead over it if you cut it close to the original wheel. It holds well enough to itself for this purpose. And, please, use Robertson screws with rounds heads with small, thin flat washers if possible. Robertson pan heads are even better if you can access them.

@GarageGear 27 дней назад

Awesome idea thanks for sharing

@UnpleasantChuck 10 месяцев назад

Another great tip, as always. And thanks, as always! The real wheels on my Ariens self-propelled mower are worn out, and new wheels are not only difficult to find, they're very expensive. They used to sell 'skins' to replace the tread, but I can't find any for sale. One of mine is missing parts of the sidewall and almost ready to fall off completely. This looks like a GREAT solution, and I'm going to try it. Have to admit, I'm not fond of the idea of all those screws, but it does seem to be a practical attachment method. I'll follow this thread for your updates. I've been thinking of using a combination of screws to provide a secure anchor at the seam where the two ends of the tire meet, but using some JB Weld for plastics or maybe silicone sealant throughout the rest of the circumference to hold the replacement tread in place. Or maybe a couple of sets of screws 180 degrees from each other, and glue in the other areas. At any rate, thanks once again for sharing your expertise and creativity in a professional and entertaining fashion.

@GarageGear 10 месяцев назад

Hey Chuck! I wouldn’t worry too much about the screws my friend! They really do a great job holding the tread on! Fun modification that works great! Thanks for being a cool fan!

@mrcutter98 9 месяцев назад

Works well for kids electric cars/tractors/trucks as well! Keeps you from having to give them a push, but sometimes will pull the front wheels off the ground if heading up a hill. The kids love it!

@macrobinson5457 10 месяцев назад

That’s a great tip, JB. I’ve been doing something similar for years. Based on my observations and the real-world experience of my neighbours, my informed opinion is that manufacturers of self-propelled retail mowers don’t build those machines with longevity in mind. Well-maintained premium branded commercial push-mowers are the preference here. 37 years at the same +1/2 acre property, and into the early days of our third mower, attests to this strategy. Anyways, back to re-treading. I put a couple of strips of knobby bike tire on the bottom of my wife’s ‘landscape loafers’ so that she has good grip and won’t slip should the turf be damp or dewy.

@GarageGear 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing Mac! Things are definitely not built with longevity in mind!

@jesusestrada5543 9 месяцев назад

I've got two spare bike tires of the same tread just laying around behind the barn. This'll work great for my 1980s Sears Craftsman pull-lite mower with bald drive wheels. That's a great idea that I'd never had thought of dude. Now if only I could free up the stuck cable so it'd actually drive itself.

@GarageGear 9 месяцев назад

Awesome my friend! Shoot a little wd40 down the cable. See if that helps!

@djdawso 5 месяцев назад

Years ago I had a similar problem with the tread on the rear wheels of my Honda mower (forget the model, but it had the blade brake system that allowed the mower to keep running when you let go of the handle but it stopped the blade super quickly for safety). It was pretty clear after just a little bit of close inspection that the front and rear wheels were exactly the same except the rear wheels had metal gears pressed on the splines on the inside of the plastic wheel hub and they were held on by a few of the splines being melted. By cutting off those melted parts I was able to pry the gears off and press them onto the front wheels and just swap the front and back sets. This bought me another few years before the plastic wheels wore down enough that they started splitting in half, at which time I just bought a new set. Also, at least with that model, the deck wasn't actually completely level when all the wheels were at the same setting, since part of the mulching design was to have the front of the mower a little higher than the back so that the grass got cut incrementally more as the mower moved forward. I discovered that setting the rear wheels one notch higher than the front made the deck more level and resulted in a more even cut of my grass. The two stacked mulching blades still seemed to do a good job so I didn't worry about hurting the mulching performance. Dunno if more recent Honda mowers did the same thing, since this was quite some time ago. I like the idea of basically using "retreads" on the mower, and will keep that in mind if my 80v Kobalt mower wheels ever seem to need more tread. Great idea!!!

@GarageGear 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing this dj! Let me know if you throw them on your kobalt!

I bought a Honda hrx and not only did the tread FALL off, the whole wheel was splitting apart and crumbling. I searched everywhere and couldn't get a replacement that was correct because it was a new design and parts just weren't available yet. So i bought an hrn and honestly, it's a way better machine that I should have gotten to begin with.

I found that if you're cognoscente of the possibility of wearing the tires down when on concrete or pavement and start to push the mower before you lightly engage the wheels so they don't spin and stay on grass otherwise the wheels last forever on my mower as well as the gear system inside the wheel. I have a friend that would grab that handle full throttle on pavement and wore actual holes in his wheels.

@Clearanceman2 10 месяцев назад

I always thought tread on push mowers was kind of a farce like it is on road bicycles. It's on there because people think it needs to be on there. I'm pretty sure the best tread on a walk behind mower would be no tread at all. Now, you may be getting more traction with rubber than with plastic but I don't see how plastic tread makes any difference at all over no plastic tread. In fact, I think a plastic wheel with no tread would grip better than a plastic wheel with plastic tread. Because there is more contact area. I bet if you put smooth rubber around the lawn mower wheel, it would grip better than a tread tire. Because a mower isn't heavy enough to dig down into the dirt like a dirt motorcycle. A different topic but road bikes don't need tread at all. It's on there because people think it should be on there. But asphalt has an inverse tread pattern already and a bicycle has high pressure tires and they are too narrow and they are too slow to hydroplane. The only reason cars and motorcycles have tread is because they are low pressure tires with enough speed and area that they can hydroplane without grooves to direct the water. Road bikes don't have these issues unless you're a pro riding down the side of a mountain. The most traction on the road is going to be a smooth rubber tire on a road bike for the average person. I used to have a bike with completely smooth tires and people assumed I would die but it was fine. It was even fine in the grass, although I wouldn't try it in wet grass. But no road bike tire works well in wet grass anyway.

next time use the hex head self tappers and get even more traction .

Can adhesive be used instead of screws.

@GarageGear 9 месяцев назад

I would imagine so but may be thought to remove after the bike tread wears down.

J b I did as you said. The difference I have no rubber on the wheel total plastic I tried the screw would not go in.l they Slide off. I gave up for another day.

@GarageGear 2 месяца назад

Are you using self tapping screws?

@johnhouli3450 2 месяца назад

Yes but they slid off I need to drill a tiny hole first one at a time maybe then it will work.

@GarageGear 2 месяца назад

@@johnhouli3450 self tappers should just go right in. Perhaps try other ones. If you press them into the rubber tire tread they should just go right in.

Kinda gives MAD MAX vibes. I like it!! 👍

Hahaha right??? Looks pretty rough and rugged lol! 👍

@JDye-youtube 9 месяцев назад

On a lot of mowers the front and rear wheels are the same. When the back wear, you can just switch them with the fronts. Slicks on the front really don’t matter.

@jperin001 10 месяцев назад

Great idea! I would love to do this to my 20 year old Honda, but I'm concerned the integrity of such old wheels will be compromised once I put a dozen screws in them. I wouldn't want to use glue like you mentioned. I guess I'll wait for some updates to see how yours holds up.

@GarageGear 10 месяцев назад

Two mows in and looking good so far! 👍👍

@russellstewart5414 9 месяцев назад

Great idea and thanks for thinking outside the box. Economical way to keep your mower running at its best . And if the long term test results don’t work out you can always buy new wheels. I’m heading out for a bike tire.

@GarageGear 9 месяцев назад

@@russellstewart5414 hey russel! After a few mows so far the tread is holding up great! Looks like they’ll be on for a while! 👍
