While slime does the trick it also eventually ruins the rims if tubeless . Found out the hard way a few times..
It also makes a big mess if you do eventually have to take the tire off…
Didn't know HF had much for tires, seen a few casters and 8-10" or so solid tires... But I might walk into a HF twice a year, look around and walk out empty handed.
Never seen where slime ruin any rims but haven't taken any apart with slime in them.
Usually cheaper to replace the whole wheel than to try to fix a leak in one of their tires. Even their tubes seem to leak all over the place.
I think most of the time their smaller wheels leak is due to the 2 piece rims. I think they hire kids to poke pin holes in their tube just before they put them in a tire.
After much comparison, the model is a 608 with the G-deck. No idea the year. Possibly early 2000s.WOW, we ordered the 3 belts off V-Belt Supply on Monday night, 7pm. They arrived this afternoon ! On the order, it said 5-7 business days.
There is another website for Lawn Tractor Wheels.
Two new wheels on rims with tubes for $59 shipped.
We'll see how long it takes for the arrival.

You probably mean opposed twin Brett. My GT5000 has a V-Twin.
Got Diana's Murray in the shop today. More on this thread. And more junk.
It needs help but her 2019 battery started it well. Did mow a small area too.
