New Mower Tires

Now that it is springtime and plants and grasses are growing again, it will be mowing time.

I ran into a little problem with the Bad Boy Zero-turn mower: the front tires were flat. It wouldn't be a problem if there were inner tubes, but they're tubeless. It is next to impossible to get a seal to air them up. My air compressor isn't powerful enough to compensate.

Fortunately, Bad Boy offers no-flat tires, basically solid rubber wheels. They're almost $100 apiece. Thank God they also came with rims.

I ordered two of them last week and they arrived yesterday. After installing them, I hopped on the mower and gave them a tryout. They worked fine. These should be standard instead of an option.

These should hold up for years and I doubt I'd have worry about front tires on it again.
