🚜 Marathon 30226 3-inch Hub, 3/4-inch Bushings 13x6.50-6-inch Flat Free Black Lawnmower Tire on Wheel Review

Terrible bearings fell apart after a month of use Bought a few years ago but the mower didn't start much thought maybe that was the cause for the camber bearings and tread coming off but now that it's been used more and the truth is it's just not a very good tire and wheel. Would have spent more money on a better tire and rim huh I just did.

I used these to widen tires on a 400 lb generator. I received a set of bushings which I replaced with bearings. I had to deform the hubs a bit to get the bearings to fit tight. The generator no longer sinks into wet grass and I think they are good for non-powered applications but I wouldn't recommend them for a large mower or similar. It's hard to beat the cost when you need a new wheel and a flat tire, but you get what you pay for.

Couldn't find a smooth or grooved tread, this tread chews a bit on the turf when you're not driving. The camps are terrible. , one broke in the first week. No center bearing spacer. According to the review it fits Grasshopper 72x but it has a too narrow hub and the center is wrong, I had to buy a set of spacers to fit it. May not be recommended for some or serious gear with quality bearings. May be ideal for DIY karts that require cactus proof tires but stay away from working tractors.

The tire itself works perfectly. Just be sure to measure your rim width for the mounting bolt. The hub bearing is not as wide as a real tire. I needed 6 inches I think and it was a lot smaller, maybe 3 inches wide. I took a piece of black tubing, cut two identical 1.5" pieces and attached them to either side of the rim while bolting them on. Well lubricated, no problems. Very nicely done and you don't have to worry about airing the front tires before mowing.
